Joe Franco Student Quotations

I encourage any student who has ever complained or been dissatisfied with this school to come out and run for one of these positions. The Student Government Association is here to better the lives of the students to this University, and I would like to see as many people try to be in this organization as possible.

I would love to go for higher, but I think 15 percent will be a high enough jump that the student body will recognize it,

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 love this school. I love the people, the professors and the landscape ... and I want every other student to love it as much as I do. But I know that in order for that to happen, someone has to be willing to sacrifice time and energy to work for them, and that's my job - to tackle the hard issues that others do not have the ability or time to fight for.

I've heard that in the history of the Student Government Association, there's never been this big of a turnout,

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.
