Part of the reason I ran for a position was because I was encouraged to run by a faculty member. I also think the house advisors are critical when it comes to encouraging students within the houses to run for positions, especially if the student was on a house team.
Well, I think we have great role models...I'm thinking specifically about the science department, because I'm a science major, but I'm hoping this applies to other departments as well...I've had an equal number of male and female professors in chem and bio, and I've found them all to be encouraging and so accomplished!
Could not find a suitable section so I written here, how to become a moderator for your forum, that need for this?
