My name is Jack Collins, class of 2004, and I come from New Mexico as a Political Science and Economics major. I am running for a senate position at large for the 2001-2002 academic school year. These past two semesters as a freshman I was incredibly involved in many activities and I feel that I would serve our student body well as a senator. I am the President of the Towers Hall Council and a member of UR Varsity Track & Field, UR Club Volleyball, KASA (Korean-American Students Association), various Intramural teams, the Music Interest Floor, and have helped organize and perform in some “open-mic nights” around campus. I don?t think my activities alone make me a good candidate for our representative; rather it?s how I act and what I do on a daily basis that represents my true character. I am an individual who finds great joy while looking after other people and trying to help out as best I can. As a senator next year, I will address issues of communication amongst our student body. My overall goal is to help us students build upon the connections that we have now and establish a stronger community.

The walls of which boasted childhood drawings that my sister and I had crayoned. Even though I was looking at my distant past, I realized I would soon be starting a new page of my future. Read More
