Steven Vu Le
I am Steven Le and I am declaring my candidacy for the office of First Year Class President. I was President of my high school class my junior and senior years and the duties of this position included participating in school committee meetings, planning social functions like the prom, proposing field trips that ranged from a Red Sox game to a Blue Man Group performance and addressing my class each term as well as during graduation. As great as experience may be, the central question is, what can I do for you?

If you are looking for promises, I will offer none, except that I will take on all the challenges that this office will present, to the best of my ability and with the well-being of the class as my guiding force. Good luck and thank you for your consideration.

Andrea Leung
Greetings my fellow fresh Obies!

I want to be your leader. It is important that the Class of 2006 represents! We are a stellar group of people from all over the planet who will leave a long lasting legacy at Oberlin College. Not to mention, we will always keep things real. I'm tickled pink just thinking about all the fun events I can help plan for us first years. Count on me to finish everything I start. My commitment to being dedicated and hard working help me to think critically, act quickly and voice my opinions. I also recycle, hard core.

So far my achievements have been making friends and finding classes I like. I'm involved with the water polo team, writing for The Grape and hopefully student government. So go ahead and
vote Andrea Leung (call me DRE) for President. Thanks, rock on!

Lizzie McAdam
Hello everyone! My name is Lizzie McAdam, and for four years in high school I was the student Representative at Large for student council. This meant that I helped students be heard. That is what I want to help you do —be heard through your Oberlin student senate. This is why you should vote for me: In high school, I was the girl who loved to have fun, but would inevitably end up looking out for my friends and taking care of them. I can promise I will watch out for everyone by making sure your opinions are respected. I am enthusiastic. I love to work. Please know that if I become president, you can come talk to me. Find out who I am and stop me! I will listen. Together, we can make this a fantastic year! Thank you so much for your support and have a nice day!

Kelli Muse
In our whopping 18 days of being on this campus, I can already tell that I love this school. Like all students at Oberlin, I have an overwhelming desire to make a difference. Throughout this year I plan on volunteering, playing lacrosse, working with SAST and Voices for Christ as well as supporting various organizations on campus. With that brief introduction, let’s get down to business.

How do I qualify? Well my leadership goes back to being president of my high school band, a member of the minority student achievement council and vice-president of my 8th grade class. But in the grand scheme of new beginnings, this means nothing. Regardless of what I’ve done, I’m assertive, honest and would genuinely love to become a class officer. If this sounds like someone you want to vote for, don’t fight that feeling! Vote for Kelli Muse.

Umra Omar
So this is where it all is. The land of opportunity and that of the ever so free, The United States of America. Still feeling in on that, I would love to introduce myself, that means going in to the age issue, rather sensitive at my angle, so sticking to the name intro, I’m Umra Omar.

My greatest interest here at Oberlin is to establish some mutual communication frequently with my colleagues. We all have our voices that need to be heard thus synchronized (mhhh…move to equilibrium as Q equals K).

If I was to be intellectual I would quote some eminent character; “I HAVE A DREAM.” That would be a lie though, I don’t have a dream, Oberlin is just a pathway along which I am creating many dreams, help out there, by sharing your ideas. As the freshman body, we should incorporate our vibrant ideas from and develop them into something solid. Via communication, all is plausible.

Miranda Pax
Though I am new to the Oberlin campus, just like the rest of you, I am eager to get involved in campus life. As President I would extend this involvement to the entire class through events to bring new students together, thereby creating class unity. This is not just another empty promise in a ploy to get elected, I would really love to see the class come together and will work to make it happen. My history as an officer in various student organizations will serve me well in this position so that we can make the most out of our first year here. So far on campus I have survived the start of classes, smoothly transitioned to college life, joined intramural soccer, and even made some good friends. I hope to have the opportunity to make greater contributions to the Oberlin community by serving the Class of 2006.
