President: Steven Elwood
2nd Semester, PIC, 2059085
Vice President: Ashley Ho-Yun Chung
2nd Semester, PIC, 1059021
Vice President: Sarah Sowon Yukari Choo
1st Semester, ASP, 1069005

Party Name: Progressive Professionalism

Platform:

The Progressive Professionalism party’s mission is to strengthen the professional qualifications of all GSIS students. We seek to do this by strengthening the GSIS network between current students, alumni, and local professionals as well as creating new, and reinforcing existing programs to make students more attractive to employers in all fields.

With several semesters worth of GSA and executive Finance Club experience we are the candidate team with the best leadership and organizational know-how to put ideas into action as well as the most qualified to strengthen the professional ties of this professional school

1) As current Vice-President and future President of The GSIS Finance Club we have experience bringing back former GSIS students to share secrets on how to crack into various industries as well as strengthening contacts.

We will expand these sessions into various career fields so that ALL GSIS students will benefit from a better professional focus by learning information that is pertinent to real life and can not be taught in any class.

2) We will work to allow any students to write a thesis, regardless of GPA, if they are granted permission by his or her program chair. There are many classes with varying degrees of difficulty for GSIS students to take among the 5 GSIS majors, GMBA, and other Yonsei Graduate Schools. We believe that students who wish to challenge themselves with harder classes should not be punished by being denied the opportunity to write a thesis.

3) We will work to make the health insurance options available to GSIS students equal to the health insurance options available to all other Yonsei graduate students.

4) We will work to make more cultural and intellectual events available to students rather than focusing solely on party events.

5) We will work to accommodate better access to the Korean Language Institute for KSP and foreign students so that all GSIS students can say with confidence that we can fluently speak Korean.

6) We will also work to accommodate better access to the Foreign Language Institute to accommodate ASP students that can not speak Japanese or Chinese before arriving at GSIS.

WHO WE ARE:

Simply stated, we are GSIS students, just like you. We’ve been in the trenches with you during midterms, finals, presentations, and the like. We’ve shivered alongside you through cold classrooms during the winter. We’ve had the same questions about some of the GSIS regulations as you. And now, we’ve been afforded the opportunity to help make your Yonsei GSIS experience that much better.

WHAT WE WILL DO FOR YOU:

Mainly, we will be there for you through thick and thin. We’ll lend you an ear for your questions and concerns. We’ll keep an eye on the powers-that-be and fight for you, the students. We’ll help bridge any gaps between you and (i) the faculty, (ii) potential employers, (iii) GSIS Alumni, (iv) other GSIS students across Seoul, and (v) anyone else who could help enrich your experience during your time here and brighten your future for your time out there. In short, we’ll do our best to represent you and do all that we can with the responsibility you entrust in us.

Our Platform

Our platform is your platform. Each of us has been involved in the GSA both “behind-the-scenes” and at each “scene-of-crime.” We’ve had the great fortune of working closely with the past and current GSA administrations. They have proved themselves as ambitious as they were industrious. But the bar they set presents us a great challenge. So we do not seek to reinvent the wheel. But where we can, we will round off the edges and take it on a fast ride to where you want it to go. Yes, we have ideas of what we’d like to see happen; but for now (and throughout our term), we’re more interested in listening to what you think we should do. So our ears are open to your suggestions. What did you like this time around? What would you do differently? How could your school life be made better?

Again, our platform is your platform. We make no empty campaign promises. We only leave you with this solemn pledge: we will not stop listening to your suggestions after this campaign ends. We will listen to your ideas throughout our service. Again, we’ve been in the trenches with you and feel your pain. We’re asking you send us to the front lines to fight your fight. So please, don’t forget to vote. Until then (and thereafter), we’re all ears and remain…

Very truly yours ^ ,^
