On-Campus Representatives


candidate
Cecilia Perez - Open People's Party (O.P.P.)

Hello everyone! My name is Cecilia Perez and I am running to be one of your next A.S. On-Campus Representatives. I am a third-year History and Business Economics student currently holding leadership positions on campus as a Resident Assistant for Anacapa Hall and VP of Inductions for the UCSB Chapter of the National Residence Hall Honorary.

Over the last three years I have been actively involved in the residential community, holding several positions within the Residence Halls Association Coordinating Board. During my terms as Representative-at-Large and National Communications Coordinator, I got the opportunity to work with six former A.S. On-Campus Reps. By working with them on several issues within RHA and A.S., I have developed a clear understanding of the On-Campus Representative position and feel that I am ready to take on this role. In addition to this, I have also worked closely with the Office of Housing & Residential Services over the past two summers as an RHA Intern and now as a Resident Assistant, which has allowed me to gain a knowledge of the administrative aspects of the residential community that would help me to effectively advocate for on-campus students.

If given the opportunity, I believe that I would be a great representative of the UCSB residents and an active member of the A.S. Legislative Council. I look forward to getting the chance to work with the larger UCSB community and serve the students of this University in a different capacity.

Jaclyn Feldstein - Students' Party

Greetings and salutations UCSB! My name is Jaclyn Feldstein and I am running for On-Campus Representative with Students' Party. If you're interested in selecting someone who already has YOUR best interests at heart, then I am the candidate for you. This past year, as a member of Student Lobby, I have worked toward lowering fee increases by traveling to Berkeley to protest this matter to the regents (we won!) and by lobbying representatives in both Santa Barbara and in Washington D.C. As your On Campus Rep, I will dedicate myself in pursuing this goal as it affects the entire student population. I am very interested in this matter and will make it a top priority. As well, I will be the voice of all the students that live in the dorms and make their concerns heard. I hope to close the separation between residents and student government in order to create unity. So, I hope you will vote Students' Party. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at jaclynfeldstein@umail.ucsb.edu! VOTE STUDENTS' PARTY!


candidate
Scarlet Chan - Students' Party
Why am I running for On-campus Representatives?
  1. I want to help change student government to make it accountable to the students. Every student pays to fund A.S., so every student should know where his/her money goes. Under Students' Party leadership, all A.S. fiscal reports will be posted online and available to everyone.
  2. I strongly oppose our rising student fees and ridiculous textbook prices and will continue to work with Student Lobby to make sure that the politicians in Sacramento and Washington D.C. make higher education a priority.
Why you should vote for me?
  1. As a queer woman of color, students, and member of your community, I want to ensure safety, diversity, and access for all students. This includes raising awareness and addressing the issues facing the under represented groups.
  2. I firmly believe that changes are necessary for progress. In order to achieve progress, better communication between student government and the community is essential for success. The creation of student coalitions is necessary to create a safe space for dialogue. The exchange of ideas between different personalities creates awareness and growth within the community.
  3. I am a product of such exchange of dialogue as I became more politically and socially aware. We all have different backgrounds, political views, and interests. But at the end of the day, we are all in the same boat. If we suffer, we suffer together. If we work together and voice our concerns, we will succeed together.

To the students of the University of California at Santa Barbara:

It's time to rediscover what it means to be a Gaucho!

Not only do we possess one of the most stunning campuses around, situated on the beach of the Pacific Ocean, but we have an impressive reputation - academic and otherwise - to match.

Most have already heard the many statistics placing UCSB amongst the best universities worldwide; describing us as some of the smartest and most fun loving.

The students here at Santa Barbara should be reminded of their greatness and the greatness of the university they attend.

In my involvement with the Residence Hall Association, the Quad Councils, the Farside Festival Planning Committee, the Student Health Advisory Committee, the Associated Students Program and Community Affairs Boards, I have found peers who also hope to bring out the best of UCSB. Attending this university is an exciting experience; and I hope to spread that excitement.

I hope to breathe new life into student government here at UCSB by bringing the students and their organizations together; by honestly listening to and involving each student and his or her diverse and valued opinion in order to better and more accurately represent the student body, creating a true and unified voice, advancing our university. This is our university, it's time to play a unified role in its operation and do it with a shared Gaucho Pride.
