Fellow Dickinsonians,
My name is Austin Davis and I am running for Student Senate President. Three years ago, I joined the Student Senate to meet and work with students like you in order to make Dickinson an even better place than it is today. I have served as a Class Senator, Club and Organization Review Committee Chair, and Vice President for Club Affairs. With each of these positions, I have had unique opportunities to help students on initiatives— these have ranged from creating a Student Senate partnership with the Idea Fund to expanding Club Sports on campus, and so much in between! I am running for the position of Student Senate President because I would like to continue to serve all of you in the Dickinson College community. My running mate is Samantha “Sammy” Lodge, who is running as Vice President for Student Life. We are both truly excited about this year’s election andwe’d like to share a few of our ideas with you. If we are elected we promise to work tirelessly on the following initiatives:
•Create a permanent committee of students and student senators to review housing policies & provide input for residence hall improvements
•Create a Social Life Advisory Committee
•Advocate for the expansion of extracurricular gym credits
•Advocate for the Quarry and Biblio to be open until 2a.m. on weeknights
•Suggest a “Create-Your-Own” area in the Caf for making your own desserts, omelets, and smoothies
•Have a daily pasta bar in the Caf
•Work on bringing food trucks to the campus
•Takeaway options for the Caf
•Advocate that Global Education allows for a streamlined process into non-Dickinson programs
•More water-filling stations
•For the Registrar to regularly update students on graduation requirements
•Priority declaration forms for minors
•More nutritional options in the Caf and Grab-and-Go
•Have more academic buildings open past 11p.m. on weeknights
•Fund keycard access for Allison Hall
•Make Allison Pub Night two Fridays of every month
•Advocate for the Library to be open 24 hours during midterms
•Swapping laundry points and printing balances
I look forward to meeting all of you during the campaign. I promise that if I am elected as President, along with Sammy as my Vice President, then we will be happy to help you work on initiatives and projects that are important to you! If you have any questions or ideas, please reach out to me at .
Best,
Austin Davis ’15
