Guest column by Gabe Delaney and Julie Bittar | It's about leadership, not salesmanship
T he essential question we have received in this campaign has been: How would you change the Undergraduate Assembly such that it is more accessible, visible and ultimately responsive to the needs of Penn undergraduates? Let’s be honest, many students don’t feel the relevance of the UA in their day-to-day experiences even though its actions do directly impact them. Some of this is due to the fact that we’re at Penn and everyone is off doing a million different things, but a lot of the reason for it also falls on the lack of engagement that the Undergraduate Assembly has with typical Penn students . This is why when we promote the “Gabe Delaney and Julie Bittar Campaign for UA President and Vice President,” we make a point of saying that we want to take the UA in a fundamentally new direction.
