Theresa Hanley Dakota Student

On March 4, another duo an- nounced their intention to run for Student Body President and Vice President in this upcom- ing Student Government elec- tion. Taylor Schaubert and Torie Danielson have decided to put their name on the ballot. Taylor Schaubert is from Bis- marck North Dakota and is a junior at UND studying politi- cal science and economics. He is involved with Student Gov- ernment, currently serving as chief of staff and is a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity Schaubert had the idea to run earlier this year. He saw the ways he was able to really place his passion towards this uni- versity on the senate executive team. “Serving as Erik’s chief of staff was a great experience for me, I got to work hand-in-hand with a lot of the vice presidents on campus and build good re- lationships with the faculty,” Schaubert said. “I also got to work on the student involve- ment projects on a smaller lev- el and really see what the orga- nizations needed and wanted here on campus.

Sure, there have been a few downfalls and some spots to learn and grow, but for the most part, I have been blessed with a beautiful life. I have the best support system of family and friends who genuinely care for me, I’ve received many wonderful opportunities at a young age and I have a place to call home. Most people who know me probably have a pretty good understanding of how happy I usually am. I’m just naturally an energetic and upbeat person, therefore, I’m pretty happy most of the time.
