Student organizations could work together much more often, said April Samuelson, senator for student relations candidate.

She said the student relations senator is important because he or she gives students a voice.

APRIL SAMUELSON • Candidate for student relations • Junior public relations major from Bloomingdale, Ill. • President of McDowell/Korb Hall Council • Involved with the Panhellenic Judiciary Board, the All Campus Programming Board Festival Committee and the Honors College Policy Council • Wants to continue “Coffee with the President” • Would like to see more accessibility for blind, wheelchair-bound and hearing-impaired students

Samuelson would like to see the Presidents’ Roundtable, a gathering of the presidents of student organizations, revitalized.

Samuelson said another goal of hers is to make the Student Center more accessible for blind, wheelchair-bound and hearing-impaired students. She said she has received permission to take a group of these students around the building to help identify problem areas.

Other goals include holding a “miniature BlastOff!” at the beginning of spring semester to make new students aware of student organizations and starting a “Talk with the Dean” program featuring deans from different colleges.
