One of the core pillars in Matadors United is Sustainability. Today, Sevag and Kenya stopped by at the Institute of Sustainability on campus to discuss their goals if elected. Matadors United plans on increasing our sustainable practices as an organization by creating a bike rental program so that we can incentivize bike usage on our campus and reduce our carbon footprint, and encourage students that live near campus to utilize their bikes instead of driving to campus to help with the parking issue. Additionally we plan on making sure the percentage of brown lawns increases by the end of term to aid in the state's water conservation efforts.

Meet Sevag Alexanian! He is a junior double majoring in Business Management and Marketing, running to be our next Associated Student's President! As a freshman, he made a commitment to be involved on campus and make the most of his college experience. He became a member of the Armenian Student Association, Lebanese Club, NSO, MACSUN and a brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. This led to his election as the Lower Division Senator of AS where he served as a member of the Finance Committee and Chair of the External Affairs Committee. His passion for student government led him to run and serve as Vice President of the organization. He was also appointed by President Harrison to serve as the 2nd Vice President of The University Corporation (TUC) Board of Directors. During his tenure in AS, he played an integral role in the creation of the farmers market, Dream Center in the USU, and the mobile bike shop which will be launching in the fall. If elected, he plans to build on the solid foundation set forth by his predecessors and continue to do his best to make CSUN shine brighter. He is striving to further improve the lines of communication between the students, administration, and campus. He wants to advocate at a local, state, and federal level to make sure the needs of our students are being met.

Advocacy is one of the pillars Matadors United firmly believes in! With proposition 30 coming to an end and the possibility of tuition increasing it is important to have veteran leadership who has had experience advocating at the state level. Sevag, Kenya, Nicole and Christian were in Sacramento last month advocating for an additional 101 million dollars for the CSU

Hey Matadors! Meet Sisian Mirzakanian, one of our candidates running for senator of the College of Science and Mathematics. She is a senior majoring in Cell and Molecular Biology. Since her freshmen year at CSUN, she made an effort to represent the university in the best way that she could. She first got involved on campus by joining the New Student Orientation program where she helped integrate new students into the academic, cultural, and social context of CSUN. She is additionally a part of a cancer research lab for the College of Science and Mathematics. This opportunity has allowed her to connect with many students with the same educational goals as herself. Whether she is involved in helping new matadors adjust to college or in the lab working with her peers to work towards a cure, her commitment to this campus is evident. She has truly enjoyed being able to meet so many students and hopes to voice their opinions when she represents all of us Matadors on the AS Senate.
