From interviews with various students, I have found that there is a particular need for increases in the number of sections offered in Biology and Chemistry labs, Communication classes, and other impacted Engineering and Liberal Arts classes as well. One of the primary things I will work towards as a Senator would be to increase the number of these sections and classes.

I also see a need for increased numbers of student tutoring; academic, career, and minority advising services; and better advertising of the locations of these services so that new and existing students can easily find out where these services are located. Recently, UC Davis built a new center for minorities and other students: this exactly the kind of project that helps UC Davis student excel in their studies, and I would work towards more projects like this one.

And finally, I would work towards a consistent enforcement of campus rules and laws. For instance, I see no reason why protests cannot take place in the Quad, but I would request that the tents out in the Quad be removed. I believe that by a consistent enforcement of campus rules that there will be less crime, theft, or the like because people will understand that a law or a rule exists for a reason and they will get in trouble if the law or rule is broken.
