Ashley Michels
sophomore, English/journalism major
1. What are your goals for the Student Association?
My goals include maintaining a positive, exciting and prosperous academic community at NIU and serving as a voice for all the students on campus who feel that they don’t have one.
2. What qualifications do you have to represent the student body of NIU?
To start, I am a student here (obviously). I feel that each student at NIU possesses qualities that would be valuable as a senator because our decisions affect us all. However, I am a good leader, well spoken, and respected around campus. These are the qualities that set me apart from all the others.
3. What in particular can you offer the student body in this position?
I feel that I am very good at being unbiased (due to my study of journalism) and therefore can represent the needs of the students at NIU as opposed to my personal desires.
