Diaz for ASUM business manager
I am writing to express my excitement and enthusiasm as a candidate for the ASUM Business Manager position.
This is my fifth year at the University of Montana as a full time undergraduate and next year I look forward to continuing my education in the graduate program.
Throughout the years I have been involved in numerous student groups. I have been involved in ASUM for three years as a student-at-large and senator.
I am the founder and fourth year president of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, a student group founded with a mission to create new leaders and serve the community.
I have been a UM Advocate since 2003 and have assisted new students in their transitions to UM at over 12 different orientations.
I am the former president of La Gente Unida, an incredible group designed to create awareness and generate interest about Hispanic culture in Montana.
I have also worked with Curry Health Center in their Peers Reaching Out program and served on the exec board of Up Til Dawn, a fundraiser that donates its proceeds to cancer research studies at St. Jude’s hospital.
During my time at UM, I have learned a lot both inside and out of the classroom. I have learned that it takes a lot of patience and a bit of creativity in order to create and implement a successful budget. I was taught to manage my time well.
I have learned that you must work with others in order to generate results, no matter how big your differences are or how difficult it may be. I have obtained a plethora of administrative skills that are crucial for this position. There is however, a major difference between the learning process and the application process.
I am at the point in my life where I find myself very eager not only to continue learning but to apply my education to date. This is why I feel I am the most qualified to serve the student body as the next Business Manager.
I have the tools, knowledge and motivation necessary to meet the needs of our student groups on this campus. I will take no shortcuts whatsoever and will stop at nothing to come up with solutions that will help ASUM fund ALL of its student groups so that they may operate at their very best.
I am asking each and every reader to consider me on April 9 during the primary and April 24-25 for the general election. If chosen, I will work my ass off to do the best job possible.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jose Diaz
Senior, Political Science
ASUM Business
Manager Candidate
