Student Assembly presidential candidate Jon Heavey '97 and vice presidential candidate Meredith Epstein '97 will give the Assembly a much-needed injection of creativity and competence.
Heavey's innovative approach to problem solving, his insightful ideas about leadership and his candor distinguish him from the rest of the field.
For example, while other candidates suggest polls, committees or nothing at all to promote campus tolerance, Heavey advocates a campus-wide dinner to mitigate racial tensions.
Heavey is open to others' ideas, which will garner him the respect of the Assembly, the student body and the administration.
Unlike other candidates, Heavey has been forthright in admitting his potential shortcomings.
