2014 – 2015 CLASS REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATES Vote on eCampus on 9/9 and 9/10

1L Class Representative Candidates:

Hello everyone! My name is Brit Benjamin and I am running for 1L Class Representative. It is a privilege to be here at SCU Law. I am pursuing this role so that I may be of service to this exciting community of legal professionals that we have recently joined. As 1Ls, we have just arrived at Santa Clara and are in a unique position to contribute to the evolution of our campus culture. We have the proverbial “beginner’s  mind”  and  have  the  opportunity  to  use  that  fresh  perspective  to  contribute to the ongoing awesomeness of the law school community. If elected, I will actively solicit the insights of my peers and advocate for the collective interests of our class within the student government. Listening is the basis of effective leadership, followed by advocacy. I can promise both. I hope that you will elect me as your 1L Class Representative so that I may serve and support the 1L class to the best of my ability. Thank you for your time and please vote Brit Benjamin for 1L Class Representative!
