Yesterday afternoon, the ASUO Executive was taken by surprise by President Gottfredson’s resignation. As unfortunate as it is to lose our President, we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and thank him for his service to the University. As the search for a new President ensues, we strive to support the social, cultural, educational, and physical development of students by safeguarding the needs of students and ensuring an effective, inclusive approach that prioritizes student inputs throughout this transitional period.

As we embark on our first year with the Board of Trustees, we look forward to working closely in collaboration with the Trustees, Administration, Faculty, Staff, and other stakeholders in searching for the best interim and long-term Presidents to support us through this crucial chapter in our University’s history.

Go Ducks!

ASUO Executive,

Beatriz Gutierrez, ASUO President

Tran Dinh, Internal Vice-President

Patrick Kindred, External Vice- President
