Hello Everyone!!

My name is YENA BAE and I am running for ASUCD Senate with the BOLD slate. My love and pride for UC Davis have grown tremendously over the past year, and will only increase. My passion and desire to bring effective and long-lasting changes to this campus have driven me to run for senate this upcoming term.

I have come up with three main proposals I could personally work on to better our student body in my possible term of senate.

1. Explore Downtown Davis Week: I want freshmen and transfers to have a smooth transition into their new surroundings. To do that, I hope to work with a variety of dining venues in downtown Davis which will give special discounts during the first week in Davis. This will encourage freshmen and transfers to go out and explore our beautiful city, filled with great places to eat without stressing about financial issues during the first week. The venues that win The California Aggie's “Best of Best” will be contacted first so that we can introduce the current students’ favorite places to eat to the freshmen and transfers.

2. Extra Study Halls during Finals: I want to allocate money towards renting out different classrooms on campus for students during finals week. Because there are only 24 study halls that are available 24/7 during finals week, students have to look for other locations to study at. I am hoping to rent out places like the ARC Ballroom and Freeborn hall. I also want to publicize all late-night operation locations on campus that will provide safe and quiet places for students to study at.

3. Hydration Stations: With my experience as a cashier at the ASUCD Coffee House, I found that many customers often buy bottled water or pay 25 cents for a paper cup to drink water. Hydration Stations have been very popular among our freshmen inside each dorm lounge. I propose that we put more Hydration Stations around the MU, lecture halls, and any busy areas for students to have quick and easy access to water on campus. This will also help our campaign to support going “green” as it will get us one step closer to becoming a zero-waste campus.

I am super excited and honored to have the opportunity of being one of your senators. If elected, I can promise my full dedication and commitment toward better serving YOU students to enhance the quality of your student life on and off campus. VOTE YENA BAE # 1 on FEBUARY 16TH-18TH AND REST OF BOLD SLATE 2-6!!
