Presidential Candidate Campaign Statement:
Hello! My name is Jaimie Le. I am seeking election to EEP Club (EEPC) as President. I believe that holding a leadership role entails serving others and working with others to achieve a meaningful mission. I have had the privilege of being your past and current PR Chair and Cohort Representative for the past three years. I believe that my leadership skills acquired from my experience as an active officer on the EEPC executive boards and other clubs prepared me for being a better EEPC President. I learned to carefully plan and complete tasks timely to ensure that club events are successful, but I can also adapt well to situations when unexpected issues arise. Working in various group settings has helped me learn to work with a diverse group of people. I openly welcome suggestions and take them into account while planning events and improving club services so that you can benefit from the social activities and academic assistance that EEPC offers. I have the maturity, experience, and common sense to provide quality leadership and visionary solutions to old and emerging issues. The skills I developed from my leadership role will enable me to work as a strong EEPC President on the 2018-2019 EEPC board. It would be my honor and privilege to serve you as the next EEPC President. |

Vice Presidential Candidate Campaign Statement:
I am running for the Vice-President of the 2018-2019 EEPC administration. As the current Assistant Social Chair, I have helped organize and plan all of your favorite club events this year. I have gained experience by working collaboratively with other EEPC officers and students, and I believe that I can now translate my experience into becoming an effective Vice-President of EEPC. I aim to fully devote myself to fulfilling your needs and wishes. After experiencing unexpected mishaps during this administration, I know how to work with club members and the university bureaucracy in an efficient manner to resolve any administrative issues. I am also always looking to improve communication among students and EEPC officers. I am open to feedback from student voices, so I will be able to more fully recognize your desires from EEPC. I will work as a strong advocate of all EEPsters, and I am excited to provide you with even better social experiences as your EEPC Vice-President. |

Christopher Koo & Jacob Parres-Gold
Presidential and Vice Presidential Campaign Statement
Hello EEP! We, Jacob and Chris, want to be your 2018-2019 EEPC President and Vice President for the 2018-2019 academic year. We’ve both been very involved in EEP Club and believe we are the most able to continue its greatest traditions while adding needed improvements. And that’s not just rhetoric; we have concrete plans of action for each of our campaign goals.
EEPC’s primary goal is to provide social events and services to our students. As President and Vice President, we would organize both traditional and new events in a way that would increase attendance from all years. We would first improve our advertising, PR, and social media presence across all aspects of the board, from the PR chairs to the class representatives. We would try to better utilize the EEP Club Facebook and Instagram pages in order to reach more people. In addition, to make our events cheaper and more accessible, we will work to fundraise more often. Chris has organized every single fundraiser thus far, and has raised over $1000 to make the EEPC 2018 formal such a success. We would like to build upon these foundations and fundraise with more than just the typical pizza sale; we will also sell goods like Howlin’ Rays’ chicken, boba tea, or whatever else the public requests!
In our administration, we would make sure to involve all members of the club in the event planning and decision making processes. We would better delegate work between our officers, ensuring everyone has a way to participate in organizing events. The same applies to our general members; we would ensure to always take into account the public’s opinion through polls and old-fashioned word of mouth. We will also encourage more members to attend EEP Club meetings by making them more member-friendly, such as by offering snacks. Finally, we will work to better distribute meeting minutes to those unable to attend the meetings, such as by posting minutes on our social media pages or in the EEP spaces. We want to make sure everyone’s voice is heard and believe we can accomplish this in an orderly and functional manner.
While an EEPC-sponsored Catalina trip will not be possible, we will make sure that a substitute for it is quickly found and executed. We will try to work with administrators like Dr. Pham, who have laid out firm reasons for why Catalina is not possible, to work out any potential issues with our replacement. One idea the current administration has considered is a beach camping trip over 3 days at a beach in SoCal. We believe that a trip of this nature would avoid some of the “hazards” associated with Catalina and that such trips could be executed in our administration. We know how important overnight trips can be to bonding in the first year and celebration of the summer for older years; we want to preserve these traditions without jeopardizing our status as a club.
Finally, we hope to constantly explore new ideas for events and improvements, planning both original get-togethers and revivals of old traditions. We will work with our social committee to bring back events conducted by past administrations, such as park days, movie outings, and more. In addition, we will work with our committee to poll the EEP public for new event requests (while coming up with ideas of our own). We believe we can find the perfect balance between EEPC’s “big” traditions, like Big Bear and Formal, and several of the club’s smaller events. We would also devote much of our time to improving the EEP lounge and kitchen. We will work to ensure the spaces always remains clean and will organize the kitchen storage to make our supplies more accessible. We will, of course, provide supplies for the kitchen, such as dry-erase markers, office supplies (including more available blue books/scantrons), and anything else the public requests (in reason, of course). Aside from this, we will work to maintain EEP Club’s tutoring program while offering new academic services. An alumni mentoring system is already in the works, and we are open to any and all other requests (from resume/personal statement workshops to career development assistance). Finally, we will continue to provide our helpful CAPS discussion groups, but will ensure all topics planned are relevant and appealing to the public.
We are experienced EEPC officers with hundreds of hours dedicated to the club. We know the ins and outs of university bureaucracy, and have been able to get things done in the face of administrative pushback. Both of us have been involved in all aspects of EEP Club, including event planning, fundraising, administration, and tutoring. We’ll be able to hit the ground running from the moment we are inaugurated, and we won’t stop until our term is over. Since we already know how to keep EEPC functioning, we’re able to focus much more of our effort to implement our promised changes and improvements. We’ve got these ideas and many more, so we hope that we have your support!
