Beverly Lee
As a candidate for the Secretary/Treasurer position for the Class of 2007, I am a qualified and familiar candidate with leadership experiences and am an enthusiastic student-athlete who is always eager to listen and continually able to compromise. During my high school career, I simultaneously served as President of the Student Government Association and Secretary for the Class of 2003.
In accomplishing and balancing change through my active participation in after-school activities, I, along with my fellow classmates have helped to organize blood drives for the American Red Cross, canned food drives for the local Maryland Food Bank, and Disco-themed homecomings and formal dances. If elected, I will help to transform the Class of 2007 into one of the most successful and highly influential student-run organizations on campus and will assist in assembling activities such as a freshman formal, free food sessions during exams, more movie and club nights, and even order class apparel! Plus, I would still like to see a greater turnout of the Class of 2007 at more events and would be partial to assembling a class e-mail list and a bulletin board in a common area to get the word out! If you are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic and hardworking candidate, VOTE BEVERLY LEE FOR THE CLASS OF 2007 SECRETARY/TREASURER!!
Jennifer Kim
My name is Jennifer Kim and I am running for Freshman Class Treasurer. I think the biggest issue the Student Council needs to address for our class is unity. Right now, I believe there is a lack of student involvement in class affairs.
I think having officers who take an active concern in the members of their class will encourage student involvement. Having more participants will give us more ideas, better opportunities, and the ability to enact more change. Furthermore, as class treasurer, I plan to work to create fundraisers for our class fund.
I would like to hold a class formal, which would be enjoyable for the students as well as raise funds. Also, I would like to have a class carnival, which would be run by students of our class. Any funds we raise at these events and others could be used to sponsor fun activities for our class. We could run polls to see what type of events the students of our class are interested in having. I have many more ideas to better our class. I am hardworking, cooperative, and a good leader. If elected class treasurer, I will put all my effort into serving our class.
Julia Tracy
Dear fellow members of the Johns Hopkins University Class of 2007:
It is my duty as a candidate in this year's Student Council elections to inform the potential voters of my intentions and the basis of my campaign for the office of Secretary/Treasurer.
As the name connotes, the position involves responsibility over both the organizational and monetary aspects of our classes Student Council board.
The Secretary/Treasurer has the immense responsibility of ensuring a balanced budget and organizing fundraising, and I promise whole-heartedly that these issues will be foremost on my agenda.
It is my firm belief that this position is the backbone of the StuCo board, and its duties are crucial for both efficient board meetings, and successful execution of events. The maintenance of open communication between students and the board who represent them is of the utmost priority to me, and I hereby promise to be proactive in my efforts to facilitate a positive environment and foster spirit amongst the class.
It is my sincere pledge to dedicate myself fully to all the tasks required of me as the Secretary/Treasurer, and to uphold the honor of our class and the StuCo Board by performing my duties with honesty, integrity and dedication.
Justin Batoff
The following are examples of experiences I have had that would make me an effective secretary/treasurer of the Johns Hopkins University Freshman Class of 2007:
-An internship at a local branch of a national bank.
-Business experience as an entrepreneur, having established and run my own company, J&J Enterprises, experience with budgetary matters for three years as business editor and one year as managing editor.
-Writing experience as news editor of my high school newspaper.
-Fundraising experience in political campaigns and as president of my high school surf club, whereby I organized activities that were outstanding revenue sources for our club.
Since I am from the Baltimore area and have contacts with many of the area's financial institutions, I will attempt to have these institutions provide money management services for the freshman class treasury at the most economical cost possible.
I am able to ensure that our class gets the best value dollar for dollar in all our class expenditures, as I am very familiar with sources of goods and services that our class would purchase, and I know where to find the best buys. I am currently assisting the JHU Development Office with fundraising efforts. I would represent our class competently as a member of the student council. I hope you will acknowledge my qualifications, recognize my commitment and desire to serve the Class of 2007, and vote for Justin Batoff.
