GRADUATE 2-YEAR
POSITION
Patrick Carr
As a graduate student pursuing concurrent masters
degrees in Public Policy and Business
Administration, I believe I have the determination,
ability, and experience necessary to serve the
membership of the UO Bookstore. Over the past
seven years, five of which I have been spent in
Eugene at the UO, I have been a customer of the
bookstore and noticed improvements that have been
made. I have also noticed opportunities for
improvements that never materialized and believe the
bookstore has a duty to the university to always take
advantage of opportunities in the best interest of
students, faculty, and staff.
If elected, I plan on focusing on constantly improving
the services, prices, and accessibility to UO faculty,
staff, and students. In addition to these ongoing
concerns I have three primary goals I hope to
accomplish during the two-year term:
-Further develop the on-line capabilities of the UO
Bookstore, allowing for more efficient and cost
effective purchases for students.
-Build upon the financial success of the past few
years, encouraging a broader range of services so
to not become over dependant on the success and
associated sales of athletic teams.
-Represent the regularly underserved populations on
campus, including graduate students, law students,
and classified staff. Please vote for Patrick Carr for
the graduate school position of the UO Bookstore
Board of Directors. Thank you for your vote.
Clayton A. Jones
Fellow Ducks, my name is Clayton Jones, and I
would like to represent your interests as a member
of the bookstore Board of Directors. As a first-year
student in the JD/MBA program, I will bring several
important perspectives to the Board including:
1. Like most of you, I spend a lot of money on
textbooks and other items at the bookstore and am
committed to minimizing these expenses for all
students.
2. As an MBA student, I will make every effort to
ensure that the bookstore continues to provide the
products and services that are important to our
education and university community while working to
decrease rising costs for all students.
3. As a law student, I will add a legal perspective to
the many decisions facing the Board. I will push for
innovative solutions to ensure the continued viability
of the important services of the bookstore and
encourage expansion of these services to meet the
changing needs of all students.
E.K. MacCall
Over that last two years the University bookstore has
experienced its two most profitable years in history. It
is not coincidence that this success has coincided with
the achievements of Oregon Athletic Teams, an
increasing number of enrolled students and a much
greater participation of faculty, students and local
residents. It is my hopes as a member of the Board of
Directors to continue the financial success of the
bookstore in addition to maintaining its involvement
with the University and the local community.
As a graduate student in Lundquist School of
Business, I look forward to using many of the skills that
I have learned and developed over the past year and
incorporate them into strategies that the bookstore can
use to further its overall growth. It is not only financial
growth that makes the University of Oregon Bookstore
a special place but the continued development of
student and faculty involvement. It is my hope that
when elected to the board, I will continue this rich
tradition of extensive community involvement that
makes the University of Oregon Bookstore a nationally
recognized community agency.
Rahmat Rahmat
Hello, my name is Rahmat and I am humbly asking you
for the opportunity to serve you on the UO Bookstore
Board. I am Physics PhD student (GPA 3.94), as well
as a PhD Candidate in Management. Recently, I have
been involved with the International Committee and the
Executive Council of GTF Federation. I believe that the
UO Bookstore should give more discounts and
benefits to UO students. Based on my experience, I
have a plan to achieve this goal.
I will devote my time and energy to make the UO
Bookstore more effective and efficient. I am committed
to helping the UO Bookstore grow stronger and to
ensuring the needs and concerns of all students are
heard and met. Please vote for me to serve you on the
UO Bookstore.
Scott Savoian
So, why should we choose you?
• Fair Textbook Prices
• 15 Years of Business Experience
• Leadership
While I’m currently a student, I have over 15 years of
valuable business experience. I hope to leverage this
experience to help make our bookstore the most
successful student run bookstore in the country. The
more efficiently we operate the bookstore, the lower
we can keep the textbook prices! I also believe this
experience will be helpful as we look to expand the
bookstore.
While operating efficiently is crucial, equally
important is the atmosphere. The bookstore should
be a fun place to work and a useful place to visit. I
will ensure that all of your suggestions and feedback
are considered and that our ultimate goal remains -
to serve YOU!
I am excited about the chance to represent you and
would appreciate your vote!
Daniel Stutzbach
Prior to entering graduate school, I was employed
as a Senior Software Engineer. My experience with
modern technology, business, and optimization
techniques could be a valuable asset to your
bookstore’s Board of Directors.
I strongly believe in representing all people, and
have often been a vocal spokesman for the minority
view. As a member of the Board, I would work to
make the bookstore more responsive to its
members. Despite the bookstores excellent record
of returning money to the students and the school,
I believe we can do better.
! am active in other non-profit organizations. For
example, I am a Contributing Member of Software
in the Public Interest, and served as a department
steward in the GTFF. I’m also a lifetime member of
Hostelling International and the Sierra Club.
Experience with other non-profit organizations
gives me insight into ways the UO Bookstore can
best serve you, its members. I have a strong work
ethic and a desire to enrich my community. If you
elect me, I will bring my talents, skills, and
experience to work for you. It would be an honor to
work for such a diverse, wonderful group of
people. I encourage you to grant me that privilege.
