| 1. What are your goals if elected Student Government Association
vice president for programming? |
One of my goals for Programming Council in the year 2000 is for it
to become more of a resource for other organizations that also engage in
programming events. I believe there are so many great ideas for programming
here on the TCU campus that do come from different organizations that I
feel that Programming Council should empower these organizations with the
resources that they need to make these programs happen. |
| 2. What are your qualifications to serve as Student Government
Association vice president for programming? |
The most important qualification I can bring to the position is a
concrete understanding of Programming Council - what it has been, what
is now and where it needs to go the meet the changing needs of this campus.
I have served on every tier of membership in Programming Council; I have
been a committee member, a committee chairperson and a member of the administrative
cabinet for two years. All of my experience with this organization has
increased my love for it and my dedication toward bettering it so that
it can better serve the TCU community. |
| 3. What is the No. 1 issue you think the House should take up
next year, and what is your suggestion for what the House should do? |
I think the No. 1 issue the Student Government Association needs
to address in the upcoming year is how to maintain the preconceived notions
that students have of TCU when they first come here. We tend to show people
all of the wonderful things in which they can get involved and the people
they can meet when they come here to TCU, but many times we just leave
them to find their own way when they get here. Many other departments have
stated they will build upon this concept, with things such as the Chancellor's
Leadership Program, but I think SGA should try to do something like it
also. |
| 4. What is the one unique thing you have done as a student at
TCU that sets you apart from other students? |
I don't really think I have done anything that is so unique as to
set me apart from the rest of the student body. I am really just a simple
person who wants the best out of life for myself and for others. |
| 5. What do you see as the job/role of Programming Council? |
The role of Programming Council is to provide a positive connection
for all administrators, faculty members and especially the students with
one another. Programming Council is a conduit for a range of experiences
and insights that allows those who participate in its programs the experience
and ability to explore and embrace new ideas. |
| 6. How do you plan to boost student participation in PC events? |
The key to student participation in any event is bringing an event
or a program the student body wants or feels compelled to attend. The participation
in the upcoming Goo Goo Dolls concert has been great, and that is because
Programming Council listened to what the student body wanted and did everything
within its power to make sure that it happened (or is going to happen). |
| 7. Would you like to see PC bring more big-name acts to the TCU
area next year? If so, how would such a program be funded? If not, why
not? |
I myself don't have much of a bearing on the type of programs and
events that Programming Council will bring to the campus because it is
all up to the student body and the chairpersons of the seven standing committees
of Programming Council. If the student body wants a "big name"
and the Programming Council Executive Board is willing to work on it, then
I will support them and do everything within my power to make sure that
it happens. |
