Although some people refer to me as the Bojangles girl, I am Chandler Thompson and I want to be your next Student Body President. March 29 is getting closer and closer, and I only have a few hours left to introduce myself to students of this campus. If you are around the Brickyard, come by and meet myself and other members of my team in our tailgate during lunch hours.
Please make an informed decision when you are choosing your next Student Body President. We need someone that will represent the most important group of individuals at N.C. State—the students. Students are what drive this campus and highlight what makes this University so unique. We also need someone who is informed about Student Government and the role of Student Body President. I’ve been a member of Student Government for three years and discussed this job at length with Kelly Hook, the current Student Body President. I have the time and experience necessary to represent all students that go to NC State.
My dad raised me to love N.C. State and care about this University’s sports teams, academic success and student life. My passion for this University will keep me dedicated to serving all year long. We need to promote what we do best and I will commit myself to highlighting the strengths of N.C. State.
What differentiates me from the other five candidates is that I have done my research and produced detailed solutions and steps to back up my platform. With your support and help, we can bring the campus community together as one unified Wolfpack. Traditions are a bridge and they will be used to connect our students to each other and this University. I’m committed to working hard to improve the student experience, which involves pushing for longer tailgating hours and dining on campus from 10 pm to 2 am. We also need improved advising and a sustainability culture change. We may be “the red and white from State” but we are all green at heart.
Communication is going to be most important for this era of Student Government. I will use all avenues to communicate with the students while allowing the students the opportunity to communicate with me. This includes my Twitter, Facebook, blog posts on the Student Government website, monthly surveys and the central calendar. This calendar will help every student organization to communicate with all students. Check out my website and start communicating now through various feedback options.
A strong team is important to me. I plan to have a cabinet that is diverse and accessible—and I am prepared to tackle every area of my platform. Lastly, I will advocate for students and student services during budget cut discussions. We need services, such as pre-law, to prepare our students for success after graduation. Vote Chandler for Student Body President and let’s work together to improve the N.C. State experience.
Chandler Thompson is a senior in economics and is currently the Chair of the Student Government’s Commission of Traditions, and is running for Student Body President.
