<p>Thanks for checking out our platform!</p>
<p>
We're Vaasavi Unnava and Aaron Gutierrez, two rising seniors running for
Student Body President and Vice President. But this election isn't about
us--it's about you. It's about giving ourselves the tools to change campus for
the better, and leave a legacy we're proud of. Let's make change, together.
</p>
<h2>
Here's how we're making sure you have the power to do just that:
</h2>
<h3>
Platform for Social Change: The President's Initiative
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Move the Board of the Directors to the beginning of the year, where clubs
and organizations build partnerships to make change
</li>
<li>
Set the agenda to address cultural problems on our campus, from SARV to
Mental Health
</li>
<li>
Reward the organization that provides the most innovative solution to a
prevalent campus problem
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
Fiscal Transparency: Getting the Information We Deserve
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Provide flowcharts describing university budgetary process
</li>
<li>
Bring transparency to spending of the endowment
</li>
<li>
Create tangible goals for class donations, like material upgrades to the
campus community
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
Student Government Transparency: For the Students
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Hold weekly office hours in the highest trafficked locations of campus
</li>
<li>
Create "To StuGov With Love" Facebook group, where students can directly
interact with student government officials
</li>
<li>
Write a weekly column for the Tartan outlining issues and decisions made
that week
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Let's create a campus where we get to take the lead on making CMU what we want
it to be, instead of waiting for administration to fix it. Why can we make
this happen?
</p>
