My name is Alvaro Peters and I am running to serve as the Class President of 2014. My desire to do so derives from an ever growing realization of how this class has evolved into a student body destined for success, yet to this day still feel as if their individual concerns are of little importance. Indeed progress has been made, but there remains much to be done. That said, in order to enact change for the benefit our class and community at large, there must be a stronger connection between the Student Body and Union College administration. I firmly believe that every last member of this campus is equally deserving to have their thoughts and concerns heard by the administration that governs them. As President, I will actively seek ways in which our class can collectively transcend the limits constructed around us by serving as your representing voice and liaison. I vow to readily broadcast both grievances and needed initiatives—whether in regards to increased sustainability, equality, opportunity, or otherwise—so that we may improve inter-communal relationships and overall quality of college life. It would be my honor and privilege to serve as the President for the class of 2014, and I thank you all in advance for your continued support! On May 25th, Vote Alvaro Peters For Senior Class...

I find it imperative to provide such deserving yet underprivileged youth with an above average education, as they often fall victim to a lack of resources and fulfilling educational experience of which they consequently suffer a great deal. – Bro. Peters Congratulations to Bro. Alvaro Peters! Thanks to the Class of 1973 Community Service Internship endowed fund, the Roger H. Hull Summer Community Service Internship endowed fund, and individual alumni and parents, our chapter brother, Alvaro Peters, along with 8 other students were the recipients of funding for their work with a non-profit organization during the upcoming summer months. According to the selection committee “with limited funding and the largest and strongest applicant pool yet, this year’s selection process was particularly competitive.” This summer, Alvaro will be teaching and mentoring students through the Breakthrough Collaborative program. The program’s goals are: to increase academic opportunity for underserved, high-potential youth by placing them on the path of a successful college career and inspiring high school students to become educators. Alvaro references, “I find it imperative to provide such deserving yet underprivileged youth with an above average education, as they often fall victim to a lack of resources and fulfilling educational experience of which they consequently suffer a great...

UPDATE: On behalf of the Internationally Renowned Pi Pi Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., we would like to congratulate Bro. Joseph Mason for securing the most votes to become an executive board member of Student Forum, as the V.P. of Multicultural Affairs! Hello everyone, My name is Joseph Mason and I am currently a junior. I am from Chicago Illinois, majoring in sociology with a minor in political science. I am involved in a number of clubs and activities on campus. I am the social chair of Black Student Union, in which I help recruit new members and create fliers for upcoming events. I am the captain of the men’s basketball team, a member of Black Law Student Association, and a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated. The reason why I am running for VP of multicultural affairs is that I believe that multicultural groups on campus need to be strengthened. I feel that there is not enough unity among these groups, and as VP of multicultural affairs I want to bring these different clubs together. There should not be competition between these different clubs, but unity and an attempt to achieve a common goal. I feel that this position needs someone that has leadership capabilities. What I plan to do if elected is strengthen the Leadership In Diversity committee (LID) and push for more multicultural unity. LID is something that could really allow students from different backgrounds to become more involved in multicultural activities and is a chance for them to voice their opinions on what needs to be done around campus. I also...
