SA officer endorsements: Fullerton for vice president

April 10, 2013 by Optimist Editorial Board

We have chosen to endorse Anna Fullerton for the position of executive vice president.

The vice president must be capable of managing events and maintaining interpersonal relationships with the Students’ Association Congress. Fullerton, junior psychology major from Garland, has had no experience with SA, but she played a big role in organizing the Red Boot Roundup, a successful event earlier in the semester honoring the memory of Lindsey Smith. Additionally, her area of study makes her ideal for conflict resolution and she expressed that she is not afraid of conflict. She is able and willing to encourage Congress members to fulfill their duties. Fullerton’s outsider status is not necessarily a disadvantage, as she is capable of providing a fresh perspective for the executive cabinet. The vice president position does not rely as much on experience in SA as it does on organization and passion. Fullerton is passionate and will provide a voice for people who feel SA is too distant and political.

Raphael Rosales, sophomore management major from El Salvador, would set forth a great example and provide strong representation for international students. Additionally, he has had a lot of leadership experience through missions in his home country. We encourage Rosales to run for Congress next semester if he loses the election.

Rodney Johnson, sophomore management major from Odessa, did not show up to his scheduled interview with the Optimist Editorial Board on Monday morning. In an email, he expressed his passion for leading the student body and his desire to use his experience to fully invest himself in the position.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
