We have a new ASG Body President<\/p>\n
Alex Ward, 28, biochemistry major, is the new Associated Student Government president for the 2013-2014 school year.<\/p>\n
Out of over 9,000 ballots that were sent to students, Ward received 221 votes and Bihama Vedaste received 137 votes.<\/p>\n
Ward said he already has a set of priorities that he wants to set in motion while he is president.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy first priority is the Valley Transportation Authority Eco pass,\u201d Ward said.<\/p>\n
He said his second priority is to improve the communication on campus so that it will be easier for students to stay informed.<\/p>\n
He also wants to create buzz events and activities that will take place on campus.<\/p>\n
\u201cLastly, I want the ASG to promote fun activities between students, faculty, and administrators so they might interact with each other,\u201d Ward said.<\/p>\n
Ward said he would like to thank the students who voted for him, in addition to those who did not vote, because they became involved either way.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will keep working for what students want; they just need to bring their ideas to me and tell me what changes need to be made.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ASG election was held during the week of Sept. 23.<\/p>\n
