By Bailey Parks Staff Reporter Olivia Dodson Dodson: I’m originally from DeValls Bluff but I went to school at Lonoke High and moved to Central Arkansas Christian for my last two years of high school. I’m majoring in political science and I plan on pursuing corporate law with that. Oracle: Why do you want the position of freshman senator? Dodson: Well I’ve always been the type of person to love government, hence my major, so I knew that as soon as I came to Henderson I had to try to become part of the student government! On top of that, I’ve always been apart of associations like student council or the superintendent’s team while I was in high school so why not continue on with things like that? Oracle: what do you plan to do with the position? Dodson: If I win, I plan on continuing to make this school a great place by sharing my opinion on what needs to be worked on, and I will listen to what other freshman have to say so that I can share it with the other government members.

Tonyetta Flint Oracle: Could you tell us a little bit about yourself? Flint: I’m from Hampton and I’m a nursing major. In my hometown I spent the majority of my time with my little brother. I also volunteered at my mom’s job where I read to 3 year olds. Oracle: Why are you interested in running for this campaign? And what do you plan to do if you win?

Flint: I want to be the face of the freshman class and I plan to look at the things already in motion. I will help with steps need to be took in order to make college life less stressful.

Tanya Jaramillo Oracle: What do you want the student body to know about you? Jaramillo: I’m from Hot Springs I graduated from Lake Hamilton. I’m majoring in psychology and double minoring in Spanish and criminal justice. I also would love the student body to know that I really do care about their opinions and views on campus. I also look forward to hopefully representing them in the best way I can! Oracle: Why are you interested in running to be a freshman senator? Jaramillo: I’m interested in this position because I would like to be given the opportunity to represent the freshman class and to voice the opinion of each unique individual in what changes they would like to see on campus as well as what they would like to continue seeing. It would just be a whole new learning experience for me that I would love to take on at Henderson. Oracle: what do you plan to do with your position? Jaramillo: If I were to win the position, I would be making sure that my class is having the best experience possible on campus. I would love for people to feel comfortable to come talk to me if there is something they would like to see differently on campus, therefore I plan on being there for each person not only as their voice but as a friend as well.

Skyler Breanne Adams

Oracle: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Just what you want the student body to know. Adams: Most people call me Bre. I went to Magnet Cove my entire life. I was involved in basketball, track, cross country, and my senior year I was cheer captain and co- captain of the softball team. I took part in various clubs and organized several large events. I create a community style environment wherever I go and I love to surround myself with friends. Oracle: Why do you want this position? Adams: I want to set myself apart from the other bio pre-med majors and to also further positions in my career. I want to represent the freshman class well and I would like to provide them with not only a face value representation but also a candidate who is deeply rooted in enriching the college experience for my peers. Oracle: What do you plan to do with that position? Adams: I want to use my position as a platform to advocate for not only generalized problems of the student body such a parking solutions and ensuring the safety of students, but also the marginalized groups of students who deal with problems that may seem small to most people on campus. These are a large inconvenience, such as creating more vegetarian and vegan options in the cafeteria, and increasing programs for the social integrations of international students. Oracle: Is there anything else you want to student body to know? Adams: Being a freshman is a unique experience that you only get to go through once. It can be difficult. Especially if freshman are not outgoing or are nervous about being actively social. My main goal is to make the freshman experience easier and more inclusive.
