iperience there,” said Gaskell.
Gaskell’s goal, if she is elected,
to exceed the “status quo” and to
tress a working relationship with
e administration.”
“I make things happen,” she
id “I’ve never stopped in the
iddle of a project before.”
Gaskell has decided to stay
re at Clackamas a third year so
at she can maintain smaller class
ads and put more time into ASG.
askcll currently upholds a 3.45
mulative GPA.
“I realized that my skills lay in
ilitical and social science,” she
immented.
She feels that experience is
¡portant in the position of presi-
:nt because of the strong leader-
ip skills which ASG president
quires.
“I admire everyone for run­
ning. I think that there is strength in
experience, and students need to
look at experience,” said Gaskell.
“I don’t have to learn the job. I’m
ready to start now.”
ASG needs to be a great team
according to Gaskell. “I need to be
able to demonstrate unity....I want
to be a team player.”
Gaskell would like to encour­
age students to be involved in ASG.
“I encourage students to come
witness our ASG meetings.” Gas­
kell says that she looks forward to
holding the neutral position of
President in the ASG meetings and
feels she will do well in making
ASG a team.
“I know how to oversee a group,
but I also know how to be a mem­
ber,” said Gaskell.
Alisa Dean, presidential can­
didate, wants to make a change.
“I would like to increase stu­
dentawareness, something thatob-
viously needs to be done." Alisa, a
Criminal Law major, is planning
on making communications between
the A.S.G. and the student body
more informative if she is elected.
She would also like the students at
Clackamas to be more aware of
what the student government is doing
for them.
Alisa’s leadership experience
starts from her junior high years
when she started her schools first
“Don’t Do Drugs” campaign. She
also visited grade schools and helped
them start this campaign. From
there, Alisa became a student rep­
resentative in her high school and
was a part of her peer counseling
group called “Natural Helpers”.
Alisa is now completing her
freshman year and has an accumu­
lative G.P.A. of 2.7. She is cur­
rently living on her own and is a
cadet in the public ¡safety program.
Alisa’s interest in criminal law is
rooted from her father and uncle,
who are both police officers. Al­
isa’s long term plans are to gradu­
ate with her degree and someday
work for the FBI or the Secret
Service.
