Metro's Student Government Presidential Candidates

Candace Gill

Presidential candidate
Constructing Opportunities for Students

"I want to create a liaison between the Student Government and the administration. It's important that all students get informed. I think ABOR (Academic Bill of Rights) is an opinion to each student. Not an opinion of my own."

Tracy Rhines

Presidential candidate
Independent

"I want to put an end to the division of students and encourage more cooperation and all student groups in the interest of all students. If a student came to me about not having political diversity in the classroom, I would analyze the situation."

Inayet Hadi

Presidential candidate
Positive Action Coalition

"I want to ensure fair representation of all students. I will bring autonomy and sovereignty to the Metropolitan State College. I would make sure policies are in place (for academic freedom)."
