I believe that electing Brooke and Mitchell can significantly improve the student experience and solidify the students of UC as well as the surrounding community.
Kaysi Isner, Resident Advisor, Nursing ’17

They achieve what is so very difficult for a slate to achieve — the full combination of experience, character, and vision. Both Mitchell and Brooke are tremendously connected on campus, are genuinely invested in the lives of their peers and the university community, and have a simple, sophisticated vision that is perfectly in tune with what UC needs right now

Madison Filzer, ROAR Guides, A&S ‘18

To develop a campus with an inclusive and compassionate environment it takes more than numbers, business plans, and money. It’s simpler, it takes compassion and intuition, and lucky for us they have both.
Earnest Veasley, Design for America, Student Government, IFC, LCB ‘18

Mitchell has swag….and the combination of Mitchell and Brooke represent a wide range of communities across campus. What’s even better is the fact that Brooke has the motivation and skillset to drive their passions to completion, and Mitchell has the charisma and presence to let these be heard across the Cincinnati community. It is tiring to hear of the distress amongst all groups on campus, and I’m confident these two will make the best effort to create One UC.
Nick Partie, President of Pi Kappa Alpha, LCB ‘17

Brooke & Mitchell are relatable, real, and all around wonderful people. They are friends and mentors to the people around them but most of all they are advocates for our community of Bearcats!
Natalie Yim, President of Phi Mu, SAC, LCB ‘18

One time, Mitchell Phelps and I were on RA duty together. He had encountered a difficult situation with a resident, and instead of having a reactionary response, he called me to seek counsel on the issue before moving forward. I trust that this mature approach will shine through during his service as president.
Declan Feery, Resident Advisor, UHP, LCB ‘17
