Dear University of Arkansas Students,
c

ñe would like to thank you for taking the time to review our platform and initiatives. ñe are
looking forward to the prospect of serving as ASG Executive Officers for the upcoming year.
Together we have attained five years of working experience in ASG and are determined to help
guide this organization¶s success in the upcoming year. Kayln¶s past ASG experience includes
Fresh HOGS, Liaison to Faculty and Staff Senates, member of the Campus Environment and
Sustainability Senate Committee, and currently serves on the Executive Committee as Chief of Staff
and on the Student Fee Review Board and Distinguished Lecturers Committee. Afshar¶s past
ASG experience includes serving the Executive Cabinet as Director of Legislative Affairs, and he
currently serves as Director of Athletics Relations and co-chairs the Athletics Marketing
Committee working closely with the ASG Vice President.

Throughout our involvement this year, we have established contacts with several
administrators. ñe have further cultivated these relationships in developing our platform while
discussing the feasibility of our initiatives to ensure successful implementation next year. ñe
hope you will share your vision for the university with us and allow our executive team to carry
out this mission.

ñith Arkansas Pride,

Kayln ñilliams and Afshar Sanati
