Isaiah Richards Questionnaire

Name: Isaiah Richards

Degree: Arts with a Major in Political science and minor in Philosophy

I am running for this position because:

I believe that as VP External I can speak for the average student and bring there needs to not only the student council but the political stage as well

What about your background makes you qualified for this position?

As a Politics Major I believe that my schooling is very geared to this position. This position is like the career field I plan to get into. I have been on the SRC this year as an Arts rep and feel I am ready to take on bigger things.

What do you plan to do during your term should you be elected?

I plan to build on the thing Celia our current Vp External as well as our past VPs worked so hard. As well as bring my own things into this position such as, I would like to see our campus be more active in the community and would like to see more relations with our neighbors at NBCC. These are just two of the many ideas I have.

How do you feel you can improve student morale and student involvement on campus?

I believe the by being friendly to everyone and letting people know a head of time what is happening will definitely increase involvement. I feel that our social director Anthony Enmen has done a great job in doing so this year. And in order to get student moral up there needs to be a diverse selection of thing to do for all types of people from the party student all the way on the other side of the spectrum, the highly academic student.

How do you plan to effectively communicate the needs of the students to government or any officials you may deal with?

I feel that the most effective way to communicate to any one is face to face. I feel I can speak with authority when needed as well as connect with anyone no matter what their background.

If you could add anything to the UNBSJ Campus, what would it be?

I love this Campus and almost everything about it. That being said there are a few changes that could be done, I would try and change some people’s feelings that we are a satellite campus of UNBF.

What is your favorite book?

My favorite book… If I had time to read… it would have to be Stephen Colbert’s book I Am America and so Can you, I found this book a great political satire on American politics.

Is there anything else you would like to let Baron Readers know?

Keep reading UNBSJ’s great paper. And don’t forget to vote Feb 22-24.
