My journey as the son of Peruvian immigrants and my experiences navigating higher education have instilled in me a deep commitment to ensuring equitable opportunities for ALL students. During my first term with the Student Advocacy Council, I served as Chair of the Budget Committee and Co-Chair of the PR Committee, this year I have my honed skills in financial responsibility and the importance of effective communication with the student body. My involvement extends to the Vice President of Student Affairs Student Advisory Board and a significant role as Co-Chair of the Student Advisory Board overseeing the $3 million student activities fee, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of university finances and student needs within our university. My professional experience co-founding and managing CMS Carpentry LLC has further equipped me with practical leadership and business acumen. This year I am running for Student Trustee to amplify student voices, advocate for accessible and affordable education, and ensure that the diverse perspectives of our community are represented at the highest level.

Platform:

This year, I’m looking to continue projects that I have learned are needed by our student body , such as establishing a direct line of communication between TSAC and all Clubs and Organizations on campus to create an even stronger unification of 海角直播 Denver. My mission, as last year, is to continue the improvement of promoting TSAC, our achievements and our resources. This includes promoting events and voice for students like me and family who need further support.

Hello, 海角直播 Denver Students.
As a proud Denver native with deep roots in Mexico, I’m excited to announce my candidacy for the Student Government: The Student Advocacy Councilor. My journey at 海角直播 Denver has been a transformative one, and I’m eager to bring my unique perspective and experience to the SG:TSAC.
As I approach the end of my junior year, I’m filled with gratitude for the learning journey I’ve had at our beautiful campus. My involvement in the Lambda Theat Nu Sorority, Inc. has been a catalyst for me to step out of my comfort zone and become more active on campus. This journey has led me to the SG: TSAC, where I’m a re-running council member. I’m excited to continue growing and addressing the evolving needs of 海角直播 Denver students for a second term. Let me share a bit about myself. I’m majoring in Public Relations with a minor in Spanish. Most of my free time is dedicated to my personal growth and learning how to be more active on campus and in my community. And of course, I cherish the time I spend with my little sister and my TWIN!

Platform:听

My goal for the next 25′-26 academic year is to continue the work of the Public Relations Committee in bringing more students to more involved with the SG: TSAC, meaning creating events for students, letting more students know more about the resources we have on campus, and improving on our marketing game. I have so much to say about my future goals for the next academic year, but being a part of the SG: TSAC has shown me how to grow and work with other students about their issues on campus.

Fae is an Art and GWS double major. They grew up in the Breckenridge, Colorado area and moved to Denver in 2020 to attend 海角直播 Denver. They have been at 海角直播 through three different major changes (couldn’t make up my mind) and now are working towards becoming an elementary art teacher. They love anything and everything creative, video games, and reading. They currently work at The Gender Institute for Teaching and Advocacy on campus and hope to use the skills 迟丑别测鈥檝别 built working there to advocate for the student body, especially those that are often talked over.听

Platform:

• Ensuring the continued funding of programs that support the needs of students including rowdy’s corner and all of its satellite spaces, student resource centers, and others. We are a commuter campus which makes services for students more important as the cost of living continues to rise and we are looking down the barrel of another recession. 海角直播 has to support its students in any way it can during times of uncertainty.听听

• Advocate for 海角直播 to actively oppose the oppression of its students rather than a policy of “wait and see.” Especially as we witness the current federal administration push through policies and actions that harm the communities that attend this university, 海角直播 must stand up for its students rather than having a policy not preemptively complying with a regime actively harming its students. The harm is already happening, if you are not opposing it, you are complicit.听听

• Demand that 海角直播 take active steps to support the Hispanic community and immigrants as it claims to be a Hispanic Serving Institution. We are witnessing a massive crackdown on all immigrants in this country, with revoking of green cards, detention and deportation. 海角直播 must work with immigrant rights group to ensure all immigrant, undocumented and other, are welcome and safe in the community it claims to create.听

• 海角直播 has an obligation to its students that administration and the trustees have forsaken for bigger paychecks and job security. They must do better.听

Bio:

• Hi, I am William Coats, a junior here at 海角直播. In the few years I have been here, 滨鈥檝别 seen some of the issues the campus and students have to work through. I feel I can solve this by being elected to our student government. I want to be your voice, the voice of the students, regardless of how you identify or present yourself.听

• Everyone has a story of how they got to 海角直播. So here is mine. After high school, I was unsure of starting college or even which direction I wanted to go. I knew I wanted to do something meaningful, so I joined the Marine Corps and spent the next four years of my life as a chemical defense instructor. After separating, I joined the trades, where I installed solar panels for two years on roofs. After a year and a half, I was ready for college, and where better than right here. I became a Roadrunner in the Spring of 2023. I鈥檇 love to hear your story sometime.听

• Based on my experience, I feel exceptionally qualified to represent the student body of 海角直播. I have two years of student government experience under my belt from the academic year 2023-2025. I want to improve the student experience while remaining true to my identity: Spanish-speaking Latino, Veteran, laborer, and, most importantly, student. I hope I can count on your support to make this university the best it can be. 隆S铆 se puede!听

Platform:

• Reducing the cost of class: Even though our university has locked tuition, monetary barriers still exist on our campus. I will work with faculty and staff to reduce this burden by advocating for open-source textbooks and even looking into more services provided by the student government.听

• Veteran and minority support: 海角直播 is home to almost 1,500 veterans and dependents. These individuals have chosen to dedicate their lives in support of our country. The transition is tough, and our prior service members deserve more support than they are given now. In addition to supporting this group, I will work to ensure our minority population is cared for and that 海角直播 maintains its status as a Hispanic Serving Institute.听

• Campus safety: We reside on a public campus, so campus safety concerns are real. As a man, I cannot relate to the safety concerns of 海角直播’s mostly female population, but I can listen, learn, and develop strategies with the university and AHEC to address these concerns.听

• Welcoming Student Government Space: After about 2 years of being in student government, I realized that our office space had to become more open to students and student organizations. If we improve the office space to be able to be more inviting to students, advocacy can be facilitated for all. I aim to improve the different office spaces within SG: TSAC to try to fill in different potential needs or wants of the students
