Diya endorses DSG candidates

On behalf of the executive board of Diya, Duke's South Asian student association, I would like to announce endorsements for Duke Student Government candidates. Diya endorses junior Jordan Giordano for president. We were impressed by his extensive experience and genuine concern for student organizations and cultural groups on campus. Diya endorses sophomore Chelsea Goldstein for vice president of academic affairs because of her well thought-out platform and familiarity with Duke's operations. Diya endorses freshman Mike Lefevre for vice president of athletics and campus services because of his enthusiasm and experience serving as a senator on the ACS committee. Finally, Diya endorses junior Lauren Maisel for vice president of student affairs. While we were very impressed by freshman Alex Wang's platform, Maisel's distinguishing assets lie in her exposure to a variety of student groups. Most notably, we feel her extensive work with Duke University Union has helped establish leadership skills and important campus relationships that will serve her well as vice president of student affairs.
