Spring 2006 Election Endorsement List!
The polls
are open Friday, February 24th through Tuesday, February 28th.
This spring the
Minority Rights Coalition, consisting of La Alianza Coalition of
Hispanic/Latino Leaders, the Asian Student Union, the Black Student Alliance,
the National Organization for Women, and the Queer Student Union, held
extensive, in-depth interviews for several candidates in this year’s race. We
were looking for candidates who are knowledgeable about the various minority
communities on Grounds and who show a genuine interest in actively promoting
equitable treatment and representation of all students. We were also looking to
see if these candidates were well-qualified for their position; showed
creativity, innovation and could relate to the general UVa population. The
following candidates have met our rigorous standards and we therefore
collectively chose to endorse them:
Ryan McElveen for Student
Council VPO
Nick Jordan Student for Council EVP
Victoria Ingenito for Student Council CLAS Rep
AJ Aronstein for Honor CLAS Rep
Ben Cooper for Honor CLAS Rep
Andrew Siegel for Honor CLAS Rep
Kendall Fox for Honor CLAS Rep
Connor Sullivan for UJC CLAS Rep
Marin Odioso for UJC SEAS Rep
Michelle Nguyen for Commerce School Pres
Ross Baird for 4th Year Class Pres
Chris Burger for 4th Year Class VP
Christine Devlin for 3rd Year Class Pres
Lauren Hussey for 3rd Year Class VP
*Please
note: No candidate for Student Council President met our rigorous standards for
endorsement. We therefore collectively chose not to endorse a candidate for this
position. However, we encourage you to do your own research and decide between
either Greg Jackson or Darius Nabors, both of whom are able candidates for
Student Council President.
