Class of 2012

Major: Political Science

Hi, my name is Breea Bass. I’m currently a First Year, Political Science and African American Studies double major, and I’m running to be reelected to the ASLMU Senate. This year I have been involved on campus as a sitting ASLMU Senator, Student Reserve Board Member, and First Year Class Council member. During my current term as an ASLMU Senator I have served as the Director of Administrative and Faculty Relations as well as a student/administration liaison. Throughout the duration of my term I have worked on such initiatives as the LMU student bill of rights, establishing additional resources for Clubs, Greek Organizations, and Student Groups, reevaluating the core curriculum, documenting Public Safety Protocol, raising Environmental awareness, and Advocating for student concerns. Each of these initiatives are priorities that I intend to continue and expand granted I am elected for another term. Given the experience I have gained this year I am confident that if I am reelected for another term I will continue to be a strong advocate on your behalf.

Bryce Couture

Class of 2010

Major: Business/Law

I have been involved with ASLMU through the Campus Community department here on campus. I helped teach and get people to register to vote. I also helped promote the Party Smart function that was in the living room, which was a function that helped students understand their off campus rights. One big accomplishment while attending school was getting over 500 LMU students registered to vote in the presidential elections. I have been involved in the Campus Community department for quite a while now, and I acquired experience on how to get things done, and what things need to get done. I have learned which kind of events appeals to students. I am part of Greek life and have been involved in intercultural clubs her on campus. I believe that ASLMU should help make neighbor relations better with students off campus, and that we should give students a bigger voice on what and how events are thrown on campus.

Moses Galvez

Class of 2012

Major: Psychology

Minor: Spanish

My name is Moses Galvez currently majoring in psychology and a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon expecting to graduate in 2012. Winning a position as a freshman senator this fall has been a great accomplishment, allowing me to better understand the system of government that addresses student concerns at LMU. Furthermore, after having nearly a year of experience I have been able to better analyze issues that affect the student population regardless of major and class standing. During my time in office I worked with other senators to tackle the issues concerning public safety protocol, environmental awareness, and was a liaison for fifteen student run clubs including Greek organizations to establish a firm relation with ASLMU Senate to promote awareness about issues concerning LMU. Having built closer relationships with current senators who are running again, I plan on working closely with them on current projects such as creating a student bill of rights, re-evaluating the core curriculum, and establishing a formal legal council for students.

Ben Kassis

Class of 2010

Communication Major, Political Science Minor

LMU needs a governing body that is physically and intellectually in touch with the students of the university. In accordance, there is to be a constant and open channel of communication between ASLMU representatives and the constituency of undergraduates represented. This channel must increase in its visibility and remain available for any deserving discrepancy discussions regarding on-campus activities. The Senate is responsible for this and as a member I will do my part to guarantee this process, making my name a recognizable one to the entirety of the student body. As a student advocate with a broad understanding of this campus I will be relentlessly available to listen to any and all legitimate policy change suggestions. I will communicate this will on a daily basis while remaining a faithful catalyst for any change that shall take place in the following year.

Ashley Woods

Class of 2010

Major: communication

Minor: Buisness

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” Albert Einstein. My name is Ashley Woods and I am a junior communication studies and African American Studies double major from Pasadena, California. This is the part where most people give you blanket promises, but I refuse to do what most politicians do. I believe in speaking up for what’s right regardless of what’s considered “politically correct”. I will be the out spoken voice that advocates what the student body is demanding. As your senator, I will lead by empowering students to take action and become fully alive as our LMU motto suggests; Ad majorem Dei Gloriam, for the greater Glory of god, the Greater Glory of God being a human fully alive. Now you have all the power in choosing your campus leadership by casting your vote. “Change your campus, vote”.

Raymond Padilla

Class of 2012

Major: Undecided

I am member of the class of 2012 and an undecided major. I previously have held several positions in Student Government as well as leadership positions in other club activities. Formerly I was the Student Body Religion Commissioner during my senior year, as well as a club representative for the Environmental Awareness Team, sophomore and junior years of high school. Furthermore during my senior of high I was the President of the Campus Ministry team as well of the member of the Dean’s Senate. Each of my positions required several hours of commitment during the school week and weekend. I am very comfortable with speaking to administrative officials on behalf of the students, regarding issues of social justice, environmental concern, and disciplinary issues. Personally I have helped to rebuild a locally closed zoo, as well as donating thousand of goods to a battered women’s shelter. I am an advocate for the students and our concerns. Over the next year, I feel that the student body along with ASLMU needs to address community relations with the residents of Westchester, the issue of bikes being stolen(personal victim), as well as increase of restrictions set forth by the department of public safety. It is one of my personal goals to return the power or parking ticket appeals to return the ASLMU Senators, as well as promoting better community relations between the students who chose to reside off campus among the residents of Westchester. Lastly I would hope to increase the number of campus wide activities to increase school spirit. GO LIONS!

Arthur Flores

Class of 2012

Major: Business Law

It would be my distinct pleasure to serve as an ASLMU Senator for the 2009/2010 academic school year. Having attained prior experience in student government since 2006, I am confident in my abilities to represent the students of Loyola Marymount University. As senator I look to further express LMU’s,already nationally recognized, passion toward service both on campus and off. Being a member of the Magis Service Organization and having directly engagedin serving our community, I am certain of my abilities to assure the concerns of students. As an advocate for school spirit, I pledge to promote LMU’s Athletic programs more collectively. Through, and only through, collaboration with the students can we achieve the level of enthusiasm and encouragement that our sports teams need. As senator I will adhere to the needs of both students and student athletes in uniting us under a common purpose to see to it that pride in LMU athletics receives the recognition it deserves. Lastly, as senator I would exercise my charisma to see that the legislations inspired by undergraduate students are followed through and accomplished. It would be an honor to serve as a member of the ASLMU Senate.
