VCU viewpoints

“I wouldn’t really know how to go about voting. I didn’t know how to get to the site.”

Josh Vliet, Undeclared

“I don’t know anything about the election. I have no idea how I’m going to get benefits from (the SGA). I just don’t know anything about it . if I could meet the candidates that would be really helpful.”

Eric Young, Theater

“I guess maybe some people didn’t know or they just don’t know, where to vote maybe and don’t really know a lot about the candidates and the SGA in general.”

Anja Davis, Political Science

“One reason is because a lot of people don’t know what’s going on with the SGA. I have a couple of friends who are really active-the only reason I know about the SGA is because I know them. If I hadn’t been friends with them, I would literally be lost as to what the SGA does. I really think it’s because they’re not doing a whole lot to reach every single student.”

Bilal Aslam, Urban Studies

“I think the majority of students didn’t know about it; I didn’t really know what day it was until somebody came up to me and told me to vote.”

Megan Foxworth, Accounting
