First, your candidates for the College of Business Administration (4 seats): Danielle Massey, Weston Hinton, and Maddie O'Donnell.
Danielle Massey
Class: Sophomore
Major: Marketing: Management
Major: Marketing: Management
My decision to run for the 2015-2016 Senator for the College of Business is fueled by many factors, all of which are rooted in my goal to improve communications between senators and the student body.
Educate Students on my Position
Possibly the most disheartening theme that occurred while collecting signatures for my petition was
consistent unfamiliarity pertaining to what Northern Iowa Student Government (NISG) is. Some students were unaware that there was a student government on campus, or that I have been representing them these last few months as their senator. I have made it a personal initiative of mine to reach out to students. One easy way to do so is through in-class announcements. Many of my professors in the business college are very encouraging of this and would allow me to speak before class once a month. I hope to inform students on the happenings within NISG, as well as ask what they believe needs to be changed. I hope to let students realize my role as senator is to represent them and express any opinions they have.
Committee Member Commitment
I currently sit on two NISG committees: External Relations and Organization and Finance. Both of these committees have been working on very important topics these last few months. External Relations is working closely with the city, specifically on a current rental housing ordinance, which pertains to students. I have shared the news articles on this ordinance on my personal social media, and I have also encouraged students to attend the city council meetings. I hope to continue this commitment to the students, and keep them informed on any city news affecting UNI. Organization and Finance has also been working very hard this semester. Carl Reitz and Org Fi have done an amazing job keeping student organizations informed on both the contingency fund and the budgetary process. This is yet another focus I wish to continue into next year.
I believe I am a wonderful candidate to bring positivity and communication to NISG. My time as a
senator has taught me more than the basic workings of student government. I have developed better
communication skills, leadership ability, and work ethic. Seeing as three of the current four business
senators will be graduating, I look forward to working with my new colleagues, and hopefully making their transition into NISG as smooth as possible.

Maddie O'Donnell
Class: Junior
Class: Junior
Majors: Accounting and Spanish
This year, I have been continually impressed by the wonderful opportunities provided for students on
\campus. Nearly every day, there are on-campus events that allow students to learn valuable skills and information outside of the classroom. As a member of the Service and Leadership Council, I had the privilege of working with NISG to gain approval and funding to bring in a speaker who will have a huge impact on students’ leadership skills. As I met with the NISG finance committee, I realized how much I would love to help make decisions to fund opportunities such as these. Therefore, I am running for the position of College of Business Senator. I want to serve the university and the College of Business, and I am confident I will be able to do this as a dedicated member of NISG.
I believe I am a strong candidate for this position. I am very involved on-campus and have had the
opportunity to meet many business majors – whether it be in classes, at business-related events, or in
social settings. As senator, I will act off of my comprehensive knowledge of the College of Business, but also on the opinions of those I represent. I have strong communication skills, and I love to meet with and listen to others. I feel that I will be able to accurately represent the needs, wants, and opinions of those in the College of Business.
In all of my endeavors, I serve the university first and foremost as a positive representative of what UNI stands for. I have the opportunity to do this every week in my role as a Student Admissions Ambassador when I give campus tours to prospective students and families. As a Senator, I will serve the university by using my strengths to promote the university and the College of Business students. I thoroughly enjoy finance, and hope to be able to use this skill as a member of the finance committee of NISG. Finally,I will serve the university by my dedication and positivity in my position as Senator.

Weston Hinton
Class: Junior
Major: Marketing: Sales Management
My name is Weston Hinton and I am running for this position because I want to be the
voice for the college of Business. Not only do I want to be the voice for all of the students within the college of business, but I would love to represent them as well. I am running for this position because I feel that I can help the voices of others as well as receive benefits for myself. As a current member of several clubs and student organizations on campus I have retained a numerous and diverse set of skills. I realize that this is because of different experiences that I have been introduced to throughout the experiences that I have had in these organizations. I feel that it is important to step out of one’s comfort zone. This is important because this will introduce and expose you to problems and experiences that are unfamiliar. With unfamiliar experiences one is forced to obtain the skill of adaptation, which I feel strongly, that everyone should possess. I personally have never been a part of student government and I feel deeply that this position will give me everything that I am looking for. I want to reach out to more students that share common interests as me. This position offers just that. I feel that I would be the best candidate for this position because I am already involved in numerous organizations, meaning I already hold some great relationships among larger groups of people. I feel that this comfort level will allow me to connect to more individuals than the average student. I am what most consider to be a “people person” and speaking to new people and figuring out their unique story is always a thrill to me. I want to focus mainly on the internal portion and really gauge exactly what students want from the University. I also realize that I am able to benefit from this position as well. I feel that with this position I will be able to enhance my time management skills. While juggling a busy schedule, I feel that I will be able to adequately satisfy my duties required by my position. I will also be able to improve on my organizational skills, as I will need to keep all of my jobs, work and responsibilities separate from each other. I have developed a hard work ethic that not many people have and would love to display this through a position on senate. Thank you.
