Today’s “Club Ed” focuses on sophomore Communication Studies major Caroline Christ and her work as the Vice President of Mission for the Associated Students of the University of San Francisco Senate. Senate elections are being held this week, so it is a great time to profile Caroline’s involvement with this campus organization.
Caroline, ASUSF VP of Mission
“This is my first year on ASUSF Senate and I’m on the Executive Board as the Vice President of Mission. ASUSF Senate is the governing body of students at USF that advocate for student voices to be heard and carried forward, in order to inspire progress and promote positive change in the USF community. Senate has influenced positive change on campus and created many initiatives that have helped to enrich the experience of students. Students can thank Senate every time they use their Muni passes, have an overnight guest over, or study at 3 am in the atrium.
As the Vice President of Mission I act as the advocate for social justice issues and initiatives on campus as well as a liaison for student organizations. In my position I have the opportunity to highlight and create change around major issues such as: disability awareness, LGBTQ awareness, sustainability, community action, and so on. I’m very excited to be in this position and hope to affect change and fulfill the needs of the student body.
This week, September 19-22, is ASUSF Senate Week as well as Fall Elections.
