About Me
My name is Chandra Peterson and I am a junior majoring in political science and philosophy with minors in business and classical studies. I grew up in little Lake Mills, Iowa, and lived there my whole life. I started in GSB as an IRHA Senator and was re-seated as a Campustown Senator my sophomore year after I moved. I decided to run for Vice President and was elected last spring. I am also involved in Best Buddies Organization, Campustown Student Association, and other various boards and groups throughout the Iowa State University and City of Ames. I enjoy hanging out with my friends and keeping up on the latest movie when I have a bit of free time.
Goals for the Year
- Increase communication with students by moving Senators and Cabinet member’s office hours outside the office a few different times throughout the school year.
- Visit a different student organization every week to keep the lines of communication open between GSB and students on campus.
- Work with student groups to make the GSB financial process more transparent and more beneficial.
- Continue with the Fisher/Luttrell Administration’s effort to increase student awareness about the financial help that is available for students on campus.
- Work with the ISU Daily to keep students informed about what GSB is doing for them.
- Work on sustainability efforts by updating the GSB website with tips for students on how they can make their daily lives more green and launching a “Go Green” campaign to help students learn how to reduce their carbon footprint.
- Work with the GSB Finance Director and the Special Student Fees and Tuition Committee to keep tuition and student fees as low as possible.
- Work with the Campustown Action Association, the City of Ames, and Campustown Student Association to continue to revitalize the Campustown area.
