Nick Frontiera and Alexis Aiello: Leaders you can count on for the progress you deserve.

Presidential candidate, Nick Frontiera a Humanities major/Business minor and Vice Presidential candidate Alexis Aiello a Biology major/Communication Studies minor, come together to bring you the dynamic ticket you want in the ASLMU office. Just as the President and Vice President should be representatives of the student body and exemplify all characteristics of student life, Nick Frontiera and Alexis Aiello have proven themselves to be true Lions on this campus. For the past three years, both have actively been involved in ASLMU and have demonstrated their leadership skills.

Nick Frontiera has served on the ASLMU Programming Committee for the past three and has actively participated in the planning and executing of events on campus such as Collegefest and Vegas Night. In his Freshmen year, he helped found Club ChangeTheWorld which raised almost $20,000 in it’s first year of existence. The club went on to win Best New Club of the Year and Best Philanthropic Program at the Crimson and Blue Awards in 2007. Since his Freshmen year, Nick has been a part of club sports, Late Night, Greek life, and served as Co-President LMU ChangeTheWorld.

Graduating high school as the Student Body President, Alexis Aiello sought to continue developing her leadership skills once she came to LMU. In her freshman year she served as a senator and helped revise the ASLMU constitution which serves as the backbone of our student government. Also, in her Sophomore year Alexis was appointed to the position of the ASLMU Director of Special Events where she organized programs, such as the annual Christmas tree lighting. Coming to LMU as a Leadership Scholar, Alexis became involved with Special Games, Operation Smile, Pre-Health Honors Society, and helped found the annual Think Pink Breast Cancer Walk.

Our goals consist of encouraging a dynamic and vibrant work ethic within the ASLMU office to improve the community aspects of our campus. Furthermore, we want to utilize all resources LMU has to offer and make them as accessible to students as possible. Whether it is faxing a student’s resume for an internship, referring a student to their specific department of interest, or assisting clubs and organizations in planning events on campus, students should know we are here to work on their behalf. While promoting ASLMU’s availability and open door policy, we want to implement a new program called “Free CONVOsation” to communicate to students personally. Our promise to you is our time and dedication to address the needs and desires of the students on this campus.
