Director’s Corner

Welcome to the Director’s Corner! This was an effort established a few years back but had been archived. In the interest of transparency and accountability to the student body, I have reinstated the Director’s Corner.

The Corner will serve as a location for students to receive regular updates on the Director’s advocacy efforts in Olympia. You can also take recommended action in support of legislation ASUW OGR is supporting by reading the “Bill Alert” posts.

Meet the Director:

Sean is a third-year and recent transfer student to the UW studying Political Science. Besides serving as our DOLA, Sean also serves as the Vice President of Community and Technical College Student Affairs at the Washington Student Association. Sean is very passionate about student advocacy, and is eager to serve his fellow huskies this academic year.
