Kenz is running for the MPAA Student Council VP of Activities. Whoo hoo! Kenz for Pres! Kenz for Pres! ...Or, I guess Vice Pres! I may be biased, but for a good reason; she's great! (She would be embarrassed if she knew I were posting this, she doesn't really feel comfortable campaigning for herself.)
One of McKenzie's gifts is reaching out to people and getting to know them. She makes people feel included, and is very conscious that everyone is a part of what is going on. I have been impressed by her ability to do so in parties and get-togethers. She invites everyone, accepts everyone, and makes sure everyone feels at ease with each other.
Kenz knows everyone. But she is not content with knowing everyone, she wants everyone to know everyone else. She is concerned that people meet each other and become friends. This leads to why Kenz wants to be VP of Activities. She wants everyone to be friends; real friends.
The MPA program is a unique opportunity for students to be very involved with one another. We are constantly in contact, whether we have a class together, see each other regularly in the MPA Lounge, or work together on projects. We are friends in the program because we spend so much time together; but, sometimes our friendship is limited to school. Kenz is concerned
with this, and constantly brainstorms activities that will bring us together as friends outside of school. She is also concerned with helping the married and single students mix more with activities (and not make it awkward for anyone).
I am always impressed with Kenz's ideas. She loves having dessert nights, dinner parties, etc. (We actually cannot wait until we have our own space again to have more parties.) Kenz really wants to have an MPA BBQ and campout at my parents' cabin in August, which would bring together all MPA students and their families. Many students have expressed a lot of interest and we've already started planning.
So, yeah. We are excited for this next year! I really hope Kenz gets this! Kenz for VP!!

You've got my vote, McKenzie, and I don't even know your competition.
By the way, you might want to keep that campaign manager of yours around. He does a dynamite job advertising your skills. :)
WhooHoo! GO KENZ!!!
My vote as well...
