Student voices: voting in ASBSU election

Question: Are you going to vote in the ASBSU elections? Why/Why not?

 

Chris Manning, junior environmental studies major

“Yeah I will. It’s important to, but I have yet to really get into who’s running and what’s going on with that. This is my second semester back—dropped out a couple years ago—I did (vote) then and I’m going to do it again now.”

 

Daniel Hock, sophomore English education major

“No I am not because I believe I just live here and go to classes and that nothing on campus affects either of those things. I haven’t heard anybody tell me that ‘why yes, those do affect you’. I don’t feel connected enough to campus to believe that it is a ‘civic duty’ to voice my opinion of campus events.”

 

Vanessa Generaux, sophomore English literature major

“Perhaps. I just assumed I’d get an email from Bronco mail saying ‘hey this is when votings are going on’. But honestly, about the information for the candidates I see a couple of them sitting out here in the quad area but it’s like maybe one or them but it looks like more people are running. I have no idea who they are.”

Sean Flink, junior health science major

“Probably. I guess to make sure my voice is heard in student body. I did it last year and that was probably the first year I did it. I think when I started hearing about moving the intermural field across over by the Lincoln Garage I decided to start paying attention a little bit more about what was going on.”

 

Julia Broderick, freshman communication major

Julia-Broderick

“Yes, because it’s important to vote so my voice will be heard.”

 

Jenny Mirelas, freshman elementary education major

Jenny-Mirelas

“I will not because I’m not well informed with what it is exactly. I feel like they don’t reach out to students. I feel that since coming here I don’t really feel that the school’s engaging and me wanting to be here I feel like I’m just here.”
