Welcome!

February 8th, 2008 | by Executive VP Taylor Allbright |

Welcome to the new ASUC Elected Officials blog!

I want to thank the staff of the Office of the Executive Vice President, particularly our Webmaster, Yaman Salahi, for their dedication to increasing the transparency of our student government. This blog is an exciting opportunity for communication among elected officials and the broader student body. Now, more students than ever will be able to join in discussions about the need for a Multicultural Center, the redevelopment of Lower Sproul, ASUC finances, the affordability of a UC education, the quality of our academic experience, campus safety, and many more important issues.

This blog can serve as a virtual public forum, a complement to our open, weekly Senate meetings (without all the complicated procedures). I look forward to many engaging conversations.

Happy blogging!

    I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I’m in a cabinet meeting.

    Good work Taylor, I really hope that Senators and Elected Officials will take full advantage of this opportunity to communicate with the student body and deliver views and messages that might not otherwise have an appropriate venue.

    As for Ronald Reagan… maybe the world would be a much better place if he actually was asleep at all those meetings ;-)

    Thanks so much Taylor and Yaman for setting up this blog!

    The Office of the Executive Vice President has also been working very hard to raise awareness on how we need a new, more extensive Multicultural Center. Please join the Facebook Group “Cal Needs a Multicultural Center!” for more information on how to get involved with this process.

    I want to second Senator Coleman’s sentiments and say thank you to the EVP Taylor Allbright and Yaman Salahi for putting this weblog together to increase the visibility of the ASUC. I look forward to using my blog space!
