It’s a great sense of accomplishment. its a challenge, but its also a beginning of new things,” said May Viveros, who obtained a BA in Communications. “I don’t think it will hit me until I have to hit the job hunt, no homework tomorrow so its kind of a relief,” said Randy Peterson, who got a similar degree, but a BS in Broadcasting.

Elections 2009: Webmaster, Michael

Sat, 17 Apr 2010 21:22:50 +0000

Candidate: Michael (blooddaemon) Blurb: Hello all, my name is Michael Lee and I’m running for the webmaster position. Some of you might know me as blooddaemon on the forums, and yes, I do live on the forum. Although for those who don’t know me, I’m a second year computer science student, going to my third year. I have over four years of computer programming experience, and very learned basic web design way before then. I have confidence in my abilities of keeping up to date with the current events and activities in UTAMA. If I ever lack the skills, I can make up for it by learning quickly. An example of this is this semester. Since I’m taking four computer science courses out of the five classes I have, I have to learn five programming languages all at once. Yes, I’m serious about that number. I believe that one critical part, out of the many, is to keep a open and clear line of communicate between the executives and its members. What’s a better way than using the internet? It’s fast, but it is only as reliable as the person updating it and I am that person. I keep myself well informed and I’ll make sure you will be well informed. Vote for me, Michael, for webmaster. You know you want to.
