Why are you running?
“I love MCC, I love working with and for my fellow students and I believe that by serving others you learn for yourself how to lead.”
How do you plan to improve MCC as a whole?
“I want to get more students involved with all of the great activities and events. I would like to create more student space to relax, study, hang out etc. I want to see about getting a bus route for the MCC campuses.”
What is the biggest problem you see at MCC?
“Not enough interaction and involvement. Very little school spirit, most students don’t even know their mascot is a Thunderbird.”
Why should students vote for you?
“I’m running un-opposed, so no worries. I guess because I love MCC and I love to serve.”

“To gain more confidence in myself. To have this amazing opportunity for me to be able to learn and gain skills as an individual and to be more involved.”
How do you plan to improve MCC as a whole?
“Well, a good plan to improve MCC is to come out with an idea for the students to get more informed about what’s going on at MCC. Emailing and putting the information available to students.”
What is the biggest problem you see at MCC?
“Well, I believe it’s necessary for student in school to be provided with as much information as they can. Sometimes students are not aware of the millions of opportunities they can have here at MCC.”
Why should students vote for you?
“Because I’m a person that listens to what everybody has to say so that I can be able to help them on their needs. I’m also a person with enough drive and desire to make MCC a better place for students.

How to you plan to improve MCC as a whole?

What is the biggest problem you see at MCC?
“Not enough students are aware of rich experiences which await them here at MCC, by taking time to get involved.”

“I think MCC is awesome first of all! But the parking is a big issue.”
