The members of the junior senator delegation reveal their deepest secrets… or at least a window into their musical/literary preferences and their goals for ASWC.
Gillian Friedman

Marciela Sanchez-Garcia
Major: Politics
Her current favorite song: Daydreamin’ by Lupe Fiasco
What she hopes to accomplish with ASWC this semester: Since I am only a junior senator for the fall semester, I plan to support the FG/WC group on campus by advocating for the transitional program.

Olivia Hagel
Major: Politics
Her current favorite song: All You Can Do by Watsky ft. Jimetta Rose
What she hopes to accomplish with ASWC this year: I really just want to adequately serve the students I represent during my time in ASWC. For me, that means bringing up issues that students have voiced to me and balancing my own opinion, the opinion of other juniors and what I think will be best for the students and school when voting on issues in ASWC.
The last book she read for fun: Inferno by Dan Brown
Her guilty pleasure: I would live off Goldfish if I could. I love them and I have to stop myself from buying them every time I’m at the store or I’m pretty sure I would turn orange.
