Hello Nicole! I wanted to make a slight correction. My name was not spelled right in the list of candidates for engineering senators under the impact ticket.
“Aadhar Jain” is the correct one, also I’d like to know the source for the information in case there’s a need for correction elsewhere.
Thank you.

I wonder if Banuelos and Oshakuade are going to continue with the tradition of bullying other SGA members to get their way like Shepard and Azad have done during their tenure. Seems like they might be just a continuation of the scare tactics, manipulative behavior, name calling, and general bullying the Shepard-Azad administration is notorious for.
I mean, it’s pretty bad when you have a young college student drop out of the University entirely because of the bullying in SGA.

Hopefully the new staff will at turn SGA from the joke its become to a legitimate student organization again.

Well, based on her actions I’m going to just come out and say it: Tracia Banuelos is a bully. It seems pretty ironic that someone who is on the Diversity Task Force doesn’t understand tolerance and inclusion, instead using her time to spread demeaning memes and putting down a peer in Student Senate.
Excellent coaching and learning opportunity for her though; hopefully she gets the support and coaching she needs.
