Student Union

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

St. Louis, MO—Today, we are announcing that Trevor Mattea will resign from his position as Student Union Vice President of Administration effective in two weeks. Trevor announced his resignation to the Executive Council on Friday, citing a desire to make an “impact at Washington University” using his “time and talents outside of Student Union”.

Trevor has been a tremendous asset to the Montana Administration and Student Union as a whole. Trevor became a Senator during his freshman year and served as chairperson of the Campus Services Committee last year. In these capacities Trevor worked on several campus issues like dining and school spirit.

Unfortunately, the bureaucratic structure of the Vice President of Administration position made it difficult for Trevor to make a noticeable difference in the lives of students. He, thus determined that his time could be more effectively used elsewhere. We fully understand Trevor’s frustrations and are committed to working with him in a different capacity to renew student activism and make Student Union a more effective organization.

We are thankful for the two years of service that Trevor has given to Student Union and wish him well in his future endeavors. We are sad to see him go, but his resignation is another reminder of the need to reform Student Union to be a more active organization that has a genuine ability to make a positive impact on the daily experience of all students.

The Montana Administration intends to nominate a replacement who will assume office upon confirmation by Senate and Treasury no later than November 1st. Individuals who are interested or have suggestions for potential replacements should contact the Montana Administration by email at president@su.wustl.edu .
