Get ready for great parties and events, positive change in student government, and a more unified Class of 2009! We, Sam Hoff and Tory Starr, are intent on and excited about achieving each of these goals. That is why we are hoping to be elected as the new Representatives of the Class of 2009. The two of us share invaluable experience as well as a strong working chemistry that will allow us to accomplish more for our class and increase '09 pride.
We feel that we can do a great job representing you as, between the two of us, we have a ton of experience getting involved as members of the Colby community. As Representatives, each of us will bring a unique background and select abilities to the table in order to better serve the Class of 2009. At Colby, Sam has worked for the Student Programming Board and is currently a member of SGA's Presidents' Council as the Taylor Hall President. He also plays a club sport, serving as vice-president of the Colby Rugby Football Club, has participated in the Colby theatrical production "Rough Magic," and works occasionally as an over-night host for prospective Colby students.
Tory has a large amount of event programming experience, having worked for SPB and also as an assistant to the Director of Student Activities, Kelly Wharton. She has been directly responsible for planning several recent Student Activities campaigns, including the alcohol awareness campaign.Tory also plays varsity softball, mentors for CCAK, works as a lobby host in the Admissions Office and served as president of her high school class both her junior and senior year. The two of us also have experience studying abroad, as we spent this past January taking Spanish classes as part of a Colby program in Quito, Ecuador. The time that we spent chilling and taking classes in Ecuador was not only an incredible experience for us, but gave us an understanding of Colby's study abroad process, which many of you, our classmates, are currently dealing with as you apply to study off-campus at some point next year.
Both of us pride ourselves on being very friendly and outgoing people. If we are elected as Representatives for the Class of 2009, making ourselves available to hear your thoughts and questions regarding class events and SGA activity would be among our top priorities. We have numerous programming ideas, all of which are aimed at developing a sense of unity within the Class of 2009. Some of our ideas for next year include class dinners, a '09 Lake Day at the Hume Center, a class ski trip to Sugarloaf, and a junior class prom. We would be excited to work on any other projects that would help establish an identity for our class. Creating a sense of unity among the Class of 2009 is our major goal, and we feel that it can best be achieved if everyone has the opportunity to present their ideas.
