ASI ELECTIONS 2016 ASSOCIATED STUDENTS, INC. FRESNO STATE STUDENT GOVERNMENT TUESDAY, MARCH 15 AT 9 A.M. THROUGH THURSDAY, MARCH 17 AT NOON. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES CAMERAN C. PATTERSON It never ceases to amaze me how so many different people with so many different backgrounds and stories can come together and simply coexist. Fresno State has truly been a place where all things are possible, no matter who you are or where you come from. There is a place for everyone. Our marginal differences serve as no barrier to our success. Let today serve as a beacon of hope for years to come and a door of opportunity for future leaders. The limits to what we’re able to achieve pooling our talents and abilities together and lending a helping hand to those who need it; those limits are immeasurable. From the depths of our failures to the peaks of our success three words seemed to prevail time and time again: diversity is beautiful. I’m ready to lead. Let’s be great! -Cameran Patterson, President TIM RYAN My fellow Bulldogs, I would appreciate the opportunity to continue serving you. I have been involved in ASI for the past two years, first as a student researcher surveying campus-wide student perceptions and currently as the Senator for the College of Social Sciences. I have worked closely with our executives, senators, and campus administration, all of whom have given me the experience and keys necessary to succeed as your ASI President. I am committed to addressing the increased financial burden of students, campus health awareness, and campus-wide sustainability efforts. I will continue to strive to make a positive impact on our campus by being accessible to every student, voicing your concerns, and addressing your needs to make our great campus even better. I hope I have your support and your vote, thank you and Go Dogs! VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE CANDIDATES NICHOLAS R. STEPHENS My name is Nicholas Stephens and I am running for ASI’s Vice President of Finance. I am pursuing a degree in Political Science with minors in Economics and Graduate Business Prep. I have served on ASI for two years in various positions including a member of President Menchaca’s Cabinet, a member of the ASI Legal Committee, and currently serve as the ASI Executive Vice President. My experience in overseeing the internal operations of ASI as the EVP has led to collaboration with our current Vice President of Finance and the Finance Committee where my interest to run was sparked. I would like to continue the work being done to fund student programs and allocate student funds wisely. My involvement as President of Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity, Director of Finance for the Fraternal Values Society, and my understanding of ASI best qualify me for this position. Go Dogs! VICE PRESIDENT OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS CANDIDATES CONNOR ESRAELIAN I have plenty of experience serving in leadership positions. I was Student Body President at my high school, President of the Honors Society at Fresno City College, and serve on the ASI Personnel Committee here at Fresno State. There are three main issues I want to tackle once elected: 1. Preparing Students for Life After College 2. Improving Communication between Students and the University 3. Parking So how do I plan to actually make these changes? Great question. As VP of External Affairs, I get the chance to talk with students and administrators from every CSU campus and discuss common issues. This way, we can see how other campuses are solving these problems and bring real solutions back to Fresno State. As a student body, we can accomplish great things. It’s time to make our voices heard and create real change, not just talk about it. Go Dogs! DON’T FORGET TO VOTE! ASI elections will be hosted online. Here is what you need to know to cast your vote!
