As the incumbent President of School Council – Arts & Sciences, I have had the unique opportunity to work for all members of the ArtSci community. The Council has received phenomenal participation and feedback recently, and I am excited to connect with even more students in the coming year.  Once a “lost” group with a missing constitution, School Council is returning to its roots and embracing the needs of ArtSci students.  Working with the Council has allowed me to hone my skills as an organizer, manager, and communicator.  An advocate and an ally, the Council works to ensure that student voices are heard in administrative decisions throughout the campus.  Moving forward, the Council is enthusiastic to support programming that connects students to their community, the administration, and St. Louis.

Senior year is our last go-round at Wash U, our final chance to create new and different experiences and friendships that will stay with us well beyond our four years on campus. We want one of our final WU experiences to be helping facilitate a fun, engaging set of opportunities through which our fellow seniors can create lasting memories of their own. As such, we are running for Senior Class Council. Senior year is a CROSSROADS between our time at Wash U and the rest of our lives, and we want to make it as incredible and memorable as possible.

Hi, my name is Vaidehi Ambai and I am running for an Engineering Senate Seat. I want to take the time to introduce myself and tell you about my experience and goals as a senator.

One of my biggest goals is to help reinforce and commit my voice to those of the engineering body that I represent. I believe that it is important to keep a line of communication running between the student body and senate.
I have been an engineering senator since August of 2009. I took an interim seat available in the Fall of 2009; I applied for the position and was selected by EnCouncil members. I have learned a great deal about how Student Union and Senate runs and operates in the past couple of months. I hope to continue learning and serving the engineering student body as and engineering senator.

I have served on the Campus Serves Committee this past year; this committee has brought about changes to dining services, campus circulation, and student health services. I hope to continue my role in this committee and help provide better services to all students.

I am open to any suggestions from the student body and am willing to incorporate your ideas into Senate initiatives and Senate projects. I hope that I can continue to support and encourage you as a fellow student to initiate change and action on campus.

Thank you for taking the time to read this statement and thank you for taking the time to vote.
