The EMU Board takes on a large
responsibility with the task of allo
cating funds from a multi-million
dollar budget to the various pro
grams on campus.There are two
sources that contribute to these
funds: revenue that is produced by
the EMU and incidental fees
which students pay each term.
As a student at the University of
Oregon,I want to see that the
money I am contributing to the
budget,by paying incidental fees,
is allocated fairly and serves its de
sired purpose. If I am elected to
the Board, I will serve with ambi
tion and competency,drawing
from my past and current leader
ship experience, to ensure that
money paid by the students is uti
lized fairly and effectively. My top
priority will always be the best in
terest of the students.
