As a relative newcomer to Alaska, my passion project is advocating for in-person learning and e-campus reform at UAF. The expansion of the e-campus at UAF has been largely at the expense of in-person instruction, which discriminates against so many students who pay thousands of dollars for on-campus housing and to be taught by professors in collaborative, engaging, in-person settings. I am proud to promote the rights of all students so that we receive the promised value of the education that we pay for.

My passion project is ensuring students are receiving the benefits they are paying thousands of dollars for. Every student deserves proper living conditions, including the meal plans they pay for. UAF is a leader in research, and the students that live on campus deserve to treated as such.

Senator and the Rules Committee Chair, Major is history. I don’t really have a passion project of my own per say. I have helped other projects for other senators such as the springfest dance and the Mural Competition.

Sometimes attending a university can feel isolating. I want my fellow students to know they are not alone, and that many programs and opportunities exist to help them find and develop community. Belonging is not just a noun but also a verb. Welcome! We’re glad you’re here.

I joined ASUAF because I want to make a difference on campus. I want to promote school spirit, with new ideas that can really make students excited. I hope to make every student feel at home, and look forward to the future of their time at UAF.

My name is Mateo and this is my first year at UAF. I’m majoring in political science and minoring in foreign languages. I joined ASUAF because I’m passionate about every student having the tools they need to succeed.

I am dedicated to driving innovation in the energy sector and ensuring that the perspectives of our student community are effectively represented.

Alongside my studies, I engage in rock climbing and fitness training, and I am involved in organizations like the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). As a member of ASUAF, I address student concerns and improve campus life, specifically in mental health and academic support.
