This Fall 2009, I am running for Community Council Rep (At Large). Vote for me!

As your Community Council Rep I will:

-Promote the ideals and mission statements of Hampshire within its institutions

-Advocate for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility on campus

-Support ways for the Hampshire community to engage within itself and in the Pioneer Valley

-Support fiscal responsibility here on campus

These are just a few of my passionate wants for Hampshire. Financially, and otherwise, this is a really difficult time for our school. We are in danger of not existing in the way that we exist now. While working to facilitate growth and betterment of the campus, we must also look for things we need to change (before it is too late.) On campus, I study environmental science and am hoping to pursue environmental law. I am the Local Foods Intern in Saga, a new position which works to connect our school to local farms as well as improve the integrity (and taste) of the food served on campus. I am a returning signer for the Local Foods Initiative and an active member of my house, the Greenhouse Mod. In my free time I hike the Hampshire woods, go to contra dances in Greenfield and hang out in Amherst Coffee. Hampshire is responsible for my positive college experience, and that of my sister (she graduated last year.) I am proud to be part of this community and hope to contribute all that I can!
