Nicole Harwood-Sloan Hello, my name is Nicole Harwood-Sloan and I am running for one of the two- year Sophomore positions. As a student at the University of Oregon for almost two years, I understand the importance of the bookstore and its responsibilities to the students. The bookstore must be an efficient, helpful, and affordable non-profit business. To be at the bookstore’s fullest potential, it needs to have more student, staff, and faculty feedback with quick responses. I believe this can be obtained by surveying students after the rush during the first two weeks of a term for suggestions on how to improve for the next term and then implementing the suggestions as soon as possible. We are all affected by how the bookstore is run. I would like this position to help represent the students. I believe I can fairly speak for the students because I am active around campus and interact with many students outside of class. As an officer in Pi Beta Phi, I understand the importance of representing all voices fairly and the significance of making i'i'i'i'i'i'i’iVi________ _____ decisions that are for the best of all parties; whether students, staff, or faculty. Thank you for reading and be sure to vote! Gabe Kjos No statement submitted. Mike Martell Students here have the good fortune to elect student representatives on the Board of Directors of the University of Oregon Bookstore. With the current environment among higher education in Oregon, it is imperative that students take initiative in the processes and organizations that affect them. The bookstore has a substantial effect on the University Community both financially and educationally. For these reasons, active, intelligent, and diligent student members of the Board of Directors are in demand. The University Community deserves capable and compassionate leaders promoting their interests within the bookstore. I am an experienced student leader with the skills and the capacity to be an effective vocal student representative. My history of finance includes being a member of the Programs Finance Committee, which allocates over $4.5 million in student fees. As a business major, I have both knowledge in accounting and other general business practices. If you want a leader to be dedicated to student interests, effective, and influential on the Board of Directors, vote Mike Martell. I will strive for the best bookstore that is both financially healthy and an asset for students. Mike Sherman Student interests must be effectively represented on the bookstore Board because of the great impact the bookstore has on our educational opportunities. Currently as an ASUO Student Senator I have been dedicated to representing students. Through this experience, my commitment to students has been strengthened. It has also developed my leadership and communication skills. My goal is to bring these same skills and dedication to the bookstore Board. Through hard work and determination, I believe I can effectively do this. Student representatives on the bookstore Board need to communicate and work with students, faculty and administration. This needs to be done in order to further the opportunities the bookstore can provide our entire University. Vote for the candidate with the proven leadership skills necessary to represent student interests and to ensure these opportunities— Vote Mike Sherman for the Sophomore position.
