Joe Franco Position Quotations

There are many ways to get your voice heard. I find the easiest way is to be in a position like this one - the kind that you can more easily reach out to the largest number of people, and I like that.

When I was a freshman, I became great friends with the Student Body President at the time, Brian Bradley. We would often talk about what this university needed and how we could make it a better place. He inspired me to some day be in his position ... so I did.

I want every student present to know how big their position is and how important it can be to the student body, ... We want to encourage the notion of debate. It is so important that these senators take stands on issues - don't just vote yes because everyone else did. They were elected to their positions because they are leaders, not because they will vote yes on everything.

This position can certainly help benefit ones' future, but you cannot want a position like this for the title or how good it will look. It is just too much time, too much sweat and tears to go into it for the wrong reasons. I can assure you, anyone with underlying motives will not make it in this position.

Those running for the position will need to put an astronomical amount of time into the campaign process. It is no walk in the park to get elected into this position within the University. And once elected, have clear goals to accomplish for this University, and have sound, planned strategies to get there.
