Year: 2014
Major: Research Psychology, Infant Mental Health Track
Current Position: ASMC Judicial Chair
Running for: ASMC President
I believe that belonging to a team, whether competitively, recreationally, or professionally, offers a strong sense of belonging and pride. ASMC is a different kind of team. As President, I hope to offer the Full Board the opportunity to work as a team and to provide them with the tools that will help them achieve their personal goals as well as goals they make for the college.
Name: Maribel Garcia
Year: 2014
Major: Anthropology and Sociology
Running for: Class of 2014 President
I believe that a strong sense of perspective is vital in a good leader; this secures that multiple voices are heard and considered before making executive decisions. Thus, I want to act as a conduit between the student body and the administration.
Name: Natalie Meier
Year: 2015
Major: Creative Writing
Current Position: Class of 2015 President
Running for: Class of 2015 President
I hope to open the channels of communication between the class council and the class of 2015, and foster a space where students feel they can access the class council as an avenue for change on campus.

Current Position: Senator-at-large
Running for: ASMC Vice President
As a senator I focused on reaching out to students in ways such as the Disability Task Force and the Senate Shoutouts in Adams Plaza, which I originated in hopes of bringing ASMC to the people rather than making students come to their representatives’ offices. As ASMC Vice President I aim to use the knowledge I gained about student concerns and challenges to effect real changes that will improve the lives of all students, helping faculty, vendors and administration better meet our needs
Name: Brooke Parker

Major: Biopsychology
Current Position: Class of 2016 Accountant
Running for: Class of 2016 Accountant
I’ve been the Class of 2016 Accountant this past year, and I am running again for this coming year. I have managed our spending wisely, kept records of every transaction, and helped plan class events that were within our budget. This coming year, I would like to fundraise more so that we have bigger and better-quality events for our class.
Name: Skylar Crownover
Year: 2016
Major: Women’s, Gender, Sexuality Studies Double Minor Psychology and French & Francophone Studies
Running for: Class of 2016 Senator-at-Large
I want to address the clime of “political correctness” on campus. Mills should be a safe place where students can make mistakes, and be able to learn and to grow from them. If we create an environment where students are afraid to speak up and afraid to share their opinion, the entire community suffers.

As a transfer student, I seldom found relevant information on Mills academics, academic programs and educational opportunities. By running for ASMC Academic chair, I will be able to make Mills more Transfer Friendly!

Major: Biopsychology
Current Position: ASMC Disability Senator
Running for: ASMC Disability Senator
I currently hold the position of ASMC Disability Senator for 2012-2013. I have co-established the ASMC Disability Task Force to help address and serve the needs, concerns, and aspirations of students with apparent/non-apparent disabilities. If re-elected I will continue to work diligently in advocating for the end of the stigma of hidden disabilities, stigma that has engendered fear and marginalization for students living and learning with disabilities.
Name: Mel Petricko
Year: 2014
Major: Literary and Cultural Studies
Current Position: Senator-At-Large
Running for: Student Affairs Chair
As a member of the ASMC Disability Task Force I have advocated for Mills students with Disabilities and worked to build community among them. As Student Affairs Chair I will take responsibility to serve the Mills community, uphold its traditions and invest in its improvement. I will contribute to an environment of integrity, communication and excellence that supports every Mills woman as she becomes her most empowered, successful self. I will expand my advocacy to the entire student body, working with various departments and organizations at Mills to address student body issues and concerns and to improve the experience of current and future Mills students.
