Hello, fellow computer science first years! My name is Veronica Mordvinova, and I am very excited to run for the first-year representative position!
Before starting to talk about my plans for the upcoming year, and what I can do for you, let me tell you a little about myself, and the relevant experience that I have - that makes me the ideal candidate for the position
→ Experience representing the student body and their interests 2 years as secretary - student council
→ Experience planning events and organizing volunteers 3 years as a member of Key Club - 2.5 years as secretary
Now that you have that background, let’s get into the meat and potatoes of my platform!
→ Issue: coming up to someone in a leadership position, outside of a formal context, may be intimidating to some people
→ Planned resolution
→ Issue: while the CCSS already has a couple of outlets that announce events, and provide reminders, not everyone uses platforms like Instagram and Discord often enough to reap the benefits of these reminders
→ Resolution
→ Issue: certain first year students may have no coding experience, or may feel like they don’t have the “right” experience to be successful in class, or for internship/co-op applications
→ Resolution
→ Issue: because university is an entirely new environment for most people, and certain students may have moved away from their hometowns - it may be an isolating experience
→ Resolution
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my platform, and I hope you have a great first year, regardless of who you end up voting for!
