“We want to make sure our student’s voices are heard,” said Booth.

Booth is studying public relations, and is the second person in his family to go to WMU. Booth is also the chairperson for Drive Safe Kalamazoo, an organization that gives free, non-judgmental rides home Thursdays through Saturdays. In addition Booth was just one of 38 students nationwide to win the National Humanics Award being identified as a future leader in nonprofit work and philanthropy in 2009.

Booth’s Vice President, Blaszcyk is studying sales and business marketing and currently serves as the Student Affairs Chair for WSA.

“I really enjoy advocating for students and their needs,” Booth said. “We vow to work for you and only you.”
