Student Senate platforms

02/10/10 - College of Arts & Sciences

Anthony Sinapi: I have served on the senate for a semester so far and I feel that the experience will allow me to serve the students even more effectively if re-elected. The reason I joined the senate in the first place was because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and I didn't want to wait until after college. If re-elected, I will continue to strive to make a difference on this campus.

My name is Joseph Puleo. I'm a double major in political science and economics, and I am running to represent the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). As representative, all CAS students will know who I am and how to contact me. I want to use this position to lead CAS students into becoming more interactive with each other and with student government. Hear/read more on the Facebook group, or e-mail jpuleo@mail.uri.edu.
