Hogan told the Justice that he believed "next year was going to be a defining year at Brandeis," referring to the expected changes such as those proposed by the Curriculum and Academic Restructuring Steering committee. As Union president, Hogan said that he plans to become more involved in the decisions affecting the University.
Hogan added that his greatest challenge would be connecting the Student Union with the student body by creating more opportunities for the student body to become involved at the Union. Hogan added that he also wants to legitimize the Student Union by increasing student support and involvement. He also said that he would build upon much of the efforts by outgoing President Jason Gray '10 toward creating connections between the Student Union and University administration.
Hecker said in an interview with the Justice that she decided to run for vice president because she wanted to find a way for the Student Union to better represent the student body. She said that her major initiative as vice president will be to create a blog to serve as a medium between students and the Student Union, a measure that she says will lead to better communication and more transparency.
After being sworn in by outgoing Union President Jason Gray '10, Hogan swore in Daniel Acheampong '11 as Union Treasurer. Hogan swore in Sara Enan '11 as assistant treasurer. Jenna Rubin '11 was elected executive senator, defeating fellow nominees Nipun Marwaha '12 and Asa Bhuiyan '11.
Hogan also swore in incoming senators. Rami Abdelghafar '10 and Bhuiyan were sworn in as senators-at-large. Hogan swore in Michael Weil as senator for the Class of 2010. Michael Newborn and Rubin were sworn in as senators for the Class of 2011. Marwaha and Mark Zager were sworn in as Senators for the Class of 2012.
