Vanessa Sanchez

Candidate for At-Large Senate

Hi everyone! My name is Vanessa Sanchez and it would truly be a privilege to continue serving you as a Senator At-Large. During my previous two years as a senator, I have learned a lot about what it takes to be an effective leader. This year, I have taken on multiple projects to improve student life, such as, developing the simpler online Assessment Form (formally PPACs), working on a proposal to increase the number of water fountains in residential buildings, and actively seeking feedback from students with the goal of putting Bar Buses back on the table. Additionally, I served on the standing committee on alcohol policy education and hope to continue working with the committee to review current university policies. I have learned that an essential aspect of being a responsible student representative is listening to the concerns of my peers. If re-elected, I hope to work closely with the communications committee to develop more effective and innovative ways to communicate and gather feedback from the student body. My goal is for every student to gain confidence in the SA Government and utilize us as a resource for any given concern. If you ever have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me at v.sanchez@rochester.edu.
