Election time - Running for GSC President

The Graduate Student Council (GSC) elections are coming up this week. It has created a buzz and a lot of people have stepped forward to be elected as council members. I am contesting for a key post, president, as well.

Here is my plan

• Transparency in the functioning of the GSC.
  The least a student organization can do, is to be open to all the students and communicate clearly what the council's priorities are.
• Play a bigger role by
  
• reviewing curriculum
  
• working with the office of program management on class scheduling
  
• working with the career development center to bring in services such as interview preparation, resume review, etc.
• having a representative on the campus student council boards to voice our concerns on issues such as the changing of BofA ATMs to Citizens bank ATMs in the middle of the academic year (this was pain to a lot of students living on campus and without a car to access other BofA ATMs) !!!
• proposing an increase in international business cases, so as to reflect the growing importance of global economy, and more importantly the Babson student body, 50% of which is comprised of international students
• introducing a bidding system for the Babson Consulting Alliance Program (BCAP) so that the selection of company/project is left to the students.
• Continue to organize fun activities but with an additional thematic "food & beverage" pub nights.

Apart from the above, I also intend initiating a dialog to offer electives in the first year itself.

We have been asked to submit a position statement and we also get to deliver two pitches.
