Class of 2014 Senate Elections
Emily Trapani
Hi Class of 2014!! My name is Emily [Trap]ani and I would love to have the honor of being your Class Senator. I grew up in Syracuse, NY and held many leadership position throughout my high school career including School Council Senator, Senior Class President, and Captain of the Varsity Basketball Team two years in a row. At Rochester I have been involved with the Varsity Women’s Basketball team, numerous clubs, and have held leadership positions in the Sigma Delta Tau sorority. I have interned on Capitol Hill, and know the ins and outs of the legislative process. I have met and interacted with students from many different interest backgrounds and believe that I have the qualities to excel as your Class Senator. I would make myself readily available and approachable to anyone and everyone who has something to say. I will put calculated and careful thought into each decision the Senate makes, with the student body in mind. We have one year as undergrads left, and the work never ends, but college does, so let’s live it up. Vote for me and I’ll do my absolute best to make sure you have the greatest Senior Year experience the Senate has to offer. 'Trap's Got Your Back'

Hello 2014,
I have served as your Senator-at-Large this year and hope to do so again.
I hope that, with your vote, we can work to ameliorate Rochester's curriculum in a novel way. Long term, I have started work on something that I call the Inspiration Seminar. This is a 2-Credit, 1.5 hour per week elective class designed to be taught by faculty and friends of faculty in academia, industry, business, government, and policy in their respective fields. This is a novel form of experiential learning and I believe that it can help to re-ignite your passion after you have taken introductory classes.
Short term, I aim to have professors include their background, lifes' path, and previous careers in syllabus day. This is something that could be added as early as next semester.
This is a more serious platform than I have classically given - note my class council platform. This should convey how serious and excited I am to work on this project in the upcoming year.
Most Sincerely,
Jonathan LoTempio
