The Colby Echo

Issue date: 3/9/07 Section: Election

Can you believe that next year is OUR year and we will be the BIG seniors on this campus? While it may be our final year, the fun has only just begun! We, Sarah Switchenko and Cassie Jendzejec, believe that it takes two energetic and enthusiastic class reps like ourselves to make sure our class lives up every single moment from now through graduation, and beyond.

We are two extremely committed and vivacious individuals who are willing to put our class first in order to make our senior year at Colby unforgettable. While one of us will bring knowledge and experience from representing this year, the other will contribute creative, new ideas, making us a great team! We already have brilliant ideas for senior nights, pub nights, dinners, fundraisers, and of course, the most outrageous senior week imaginable! Get ready for class reps who are willing to reach out to every single member of the class and make sure their voice is heard. We are two approachable, driven individuals who will listen and have the initiative to take action.

If given the opportunity to lead the Class of 2008, we would strive to accomplish three main goals:
1. Thinking Globally, Acting Locally-With so many members of our class abroad this year, it is even more important to have senior reps that will bring our class back together for one final, memorable year. We are willing to devote ourselves to this cause as we feel the entire class has grown as individuals and collectively as a community this past year. With the many fun events we have in mind, we can make this happen.

2. Leaving Colby with a BANG-As seniors, it is our time to show this school how great a class can really be. And a great class starts with great leaders. We have so much to look forward to in the upcoming year and with a larger budget to work with, we have the chance to plan bigger and better events. As class reps, we would make certain all class activities and planned events have the quality and appeal to create a positive and fun time for everyone, whether or not you are 21. We will commit ourselves to making your senior year at Colby one to remember.

3. Building Lasting Connections.....even after Colby-As senior class reps, we will be playing a huge role in alumni relations upon graduation. In order to stay connected as a class, we would like to establish a Colby College Class of 2008 webpage consisting of upcoming events, job search/graduate studies information, menus, important numbers, dates and deadlines, class calendars, quotes and albums for class members to submit and share photos at any time. We feel as if this webpage could be utilized as a good networking source, not only for our senior year but also for many years to come!

These points serve only as the basis for our ambitions, and we encourage any input that will better your Colby experience. We will not hesitate to work through various committees, SGA, or even President Bro Adams to ensure your confidence in our class.

With our enthusiasm and motivation, along with a solid group of qualified Class Council members, we have the ability to put into action the voices of our class. We want you to be heard and we want to be the ones who make that positive difference. Vote Cassie and Switch for 2008 Class Representatives this Monday-Wednesday to ensure an amazing senior year!
