Meet the SGA candidates
Freshmen Senator
Candidates
Name: John Campbell
Major: Accounting
Platform: I believe I would make a great
Freshman Senator because I am depend
able, approachable, and a diligent worker.
I believe the best way to lead is to lead by
example. I will do my best as a Senator
in SGA, and will continue to do my best
throughout my term. As a Senator I
: would ensure that I would consider any and all suggestions made by my
peers and fellow students. I will try my best to make this campus and this
college live up to its potential. Together, we can make college the best time
of our lives
Name: Jason Golebieski
Major: Accounting
| Platform: As I went around my hall
: floor collecting signatures, I was asked
about what SGA was, and what does it
' do? I’ve decided to make my platform
| out of my answer. I will attempt to do
I can SGA an inagor
i taftf.efgfenizayjpggthe student
; and one that makes students aware that
I
it exists: ~ SGA exists to help the stu-
> dents of this college. I don’t necessarily want the students to depend on
r SGA, but I do want the student body to know that if they want or need
- something changed, they have an organization that can help.
Name: Nyok John
Major: Biology
Platform: I am running for the Senate
because I want to serve the Penn State
family here on and off campus. It is my
intention to serve because ever since I
came to this campus, I noticed that noth
ing seems to change for the better. I talk
to a lot of students here on campus and
they tell me their problems are never
heard. Therefore, I am going to be their
voices. Students need more lockers here on campus. Students are com
plaining about road traffic that becomes more congested. I will take your
voices with me to the Senate if you vote for me.
Name: Lauren Restich
Major: International Business
Platform: If elected to Senator, I will
represent the freshmen well by being
everybody’s voice on campus issues. I
am a strong public speaker, very organ
ized, I possess leadership skills, easy to
talk to and a good listener. I’ve attend
ed every SGA meeting this school year
and was on the Student Council in high
school, along with the newspaper staff,
soccer team, and officer in Students Against Destructive Decisions
Currently, I am an active member in LEB, THON, Blue and White Society,
and Intramural Sports. Senator will give me an opportunity to bring aware
ness to students about what is happening in our school.

JEW'
Candidates
Name: Michael Lytle
Major: Business Management
Semester Standing: Sophomore
Platform: During my sophomore year I
plan on serving the student body. Behrend
is an ever changing community and stu
dents must play a vital part in helping to
guide this change. When elected, I will
represent my peers through my contributions to the SGA Senate and its com
mittees. I believe that a single person, as dedicated as I am, can make a dif
ference. Vote Michael Lytle for Upperclassmen Senator.
Name: Caleb Rodgers
Major: Finance
Semester Standing: Sophomore
Platform: If I were to be elected
Upperclassmen Senator, I would do every
thing in my power to maintain the high
standards and flawless reputation of
Behrend. I would do my best to get each
and every student involved and to reach
out to students struggling to get their feet
on the ground. As an Upperclassmen Senator, I will work to show all that is
Penn State through clubs, organizations, academics, and the overall atmos
phere that welcomes Behrend’s students and demonstrates the morals and
values of the college.
Name: Amanda Schifko
Major: Political Science
Semester Standing: Sophomore
Platform: As a Senator, I plan to effec
tively help each and every student with all
of their needs. I plan to fully represent the
student body no matter what the cause or
concern may be. To me, no issue is too big
or to small for me to handle when it comes
to the student body of Penn State Behrend. I believe I will make a great sen
ator in a school I am proud to be a part of.
Club Re
Candidates
Name: The Lion Entertainment Board
Platform: As the principle programming body of the campus, the members
of the Lion Entertainment Board believe that we would bring a large, well
represented voice to SGA. Consisting of over 70 members and a large
source of contacts thanks to our weekly movies and events each weekend,
the LEB would be a great, easily recognizable source for students to come to
with campus concerns and input. Let your voice be heard, and let us help.
After all, we’ve already got the microphones.
