@Anonymous @JordanMosely if you win both sandwich ambassador and 2017 prez, which will u choose?
@Go Josh! You’ll do great!
@Anonymous What about Barnard dor
@brittany namdar I LOVE ARABELLE CHAFE SHE IS ONE OF A KIND! <3
@Art Vandelay Brilliant – yes
Talented – yes
Passionate – yes
Effective- yes
Diligent- yes
Ambitious- yes
Arabelle Chafe checks off all the boxes so she gets my vote.
@Stalin I admire Arabelle’s use of commenter propaganda.
@Anonymous all these comments are making me actively not want to vote for her
@Anonymous the point ——>
your head
@CC '18 Student Who Loves Arabelle Chafé I’m regretting my enrollment in Columbia College because I cannot vote Arabelle Chafé for President of SEAS ’18 class council. Arabelle studies Operations Research, and I am sure she will use her quantitative knowledge to formulaically optimize the student experience, while also applying her good-hearted personality to understand the needs of her classmates. She is a rockstar!
@Make Columbia Great Again “These activists often resort to scare tactics and other behaviors that detract from the generally pleasant atmosphere on our beautiful campus,” Chafé said. “When protesters cross the line, it is Columbia’s responsibility to use appropriate methods to keep students in check.”
Go Arabelle! The Silent Majority stands with you!
@SEAS student Arabelle Chafe has my vote.
She is Jewish.
@Engineer Arabelle is AMAZING and such a genuinely good person! So glad that she wants to bring some positive change to SEAS. :)
@Completely random student OMG Arabelle is so cool and aweomse!! I like took a class with her once and she always knew all the answers because she’s so smart. I would love to have her as my president!! And also I would love to go on a date with her because she’s soo hot and funny and single! BUt I better get in line
@Enthusiastic Voter Woah, I can’t believe Arabelle Chafe is running. She is going to make an amazing President.
@Question Do class of 2016 get to vote for student body president/senator?
@Anon Yes, they get to vote for all positions that aren’t class-specific
