Student Body President-elect Jen Daum announced her nominations for officers Friday, naming junior Aaron Hiller as student body vice president, junior Rebecca Williford as student body secretary, junior Michael Vollmer as student body treasurer and sophomore Rebekah Burford as chief of staff.
The offices of vice president, secretary and treasurer will be sworn in April 2, pending approval by Student Congress on Tuesday.
"I'm really looking forward to working with this group of people," Daum said.
Daum said Hiller, who has been actively involved with the judicial branch of student government, was an excellent choice for vice president.
"He has an extremely impressive record of accomplishment at UNC," she said. "He is dedicated, passionate and committed to student self-governance, as well as having the effective administrative capabilities to handle external appointments."
Daum and Hiller both said his experience with the judicial branch would help the administration work well with the other branches of student government.
Hiller said he expects to be very involved if confirmed as Daum's vice president. "I'm Jen's go-to man -- I see myself laying down the groundwork for the projects she's working on," he said. "We complement each other wonderfully -- she is an outspoken fighter, full of energy, and I am a quieter worker."
Daum said she chose Williford for secretary because of her commitment and engaging personality. "Rebecca is an extremely hard worker, very intelligent, capable and organized," Daum said. "She is a pleasant person to work with."
Williford said her experience as a member of the Disabilities Advisory Committee has helped her refine her skills as a communicator. "I want to take my experiences working as an advocate for the disabled and apply them to the entire University community," she said.
