“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

experience, and students need to
look at experience,” said Gaskell.

ready to start now.”
ASG needs to be a great team

able to demonstrate unity....I want
to be a team player.”

Alisa Dean, presidential can
didate, wants to make a change.
“I would like to increase stu

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.
