Jasmine Awad

My name is Jasmine Awad and I’m running to be your Senior Representative! I’m a strong believer that as students, our voice is our largest form of power. As a continuing student leader, I have never failed to use my voice within John Jay College. I’ve worked, and will continue to work to create a smoother transition for transfer students, recognize academically engaged students, assist with student retention, raise awareness for personal and mental health, raise awareness for juvenile justice, create efficacy among the planning of student organization events, and never shy away from the administration when students are being overshadowed. With my immense experience and relationships through many departments, I will ensure that my fellow 2018-2019 seniors feel secure within their next steps after graduation, and are satisfied with their last year at John Jay. Please look out for more detail in my campaign platform, and vote for me!

Christopher Cazares

My name is Christopher Cazares, I am running for Senior Representative of Student Council. One issue that I constantly see students struggle with is hunger and not having the financial means to purchase food or find food on campus. Most students don’t have the luxury of having money to buy food and some don’t have the chance to attend an event for food. I have spoken to food advocates at the Wellness Center, as a result, I have developed enhanced programing that is already in place for addressing this problem. I plan to create events centered around providing access to free food for students that are facing hardships, in order to raise awareness of food inequality on campus. I will bring cuisines from different cultures and countries in attempt to diversify options for the student body. Vote for me, because i CAzaRES for you!
