Intercom

Ø In the music school I would like to redo the interior and practice rooms because they are depressing and also there are not a lot of trash cans on campus and that bothers me.

Ø What are some ways you will reach out to your students?

Ø Technology, and social media.

Ø Can you tell me one or two positions that you have had in which you have been a leader of a group?

Ø In high school I was president of Gay Straight Alliance, and the social media coordinator for prom committee.

Ø How would you motivate your constituents to take a step, and how would your insight motivate their passion?

Ø I don’t really know, because I know what motivates students is baiting. I would hope all of you would help me in that.

Ø If you could teach a class at IC what would you teach?

Ø Diction, language is my specialty.

¨ Discussion

Ø She seems really enthusiastic like she really wants to be in the position.

Ø I liked how honest she was, she didn’t try and embellish any leadership roles she has had. She wants to learn; she seems like a really good bridge to the music students.

Ø I respect that she didn’t have an answer to one of the questions.

Ø This could be a start of a better relationship with the school of music and Student Government.

Ø I think with elections coming up this is a great opportunity to have someone new.

Ø This also benefits SGA long term.
