ASCIT 2025 Spring Elections: Candidate Statements

Since before the Institute bore its present name, athletics has played a vital role in the Caltech experience as a means of supporting students’ overall health and wellbeing.

In the heart of Pasadena, nestled between the evergreen dotted hills and the sprawling cityscape, stands a campus symbolizing human ingenuity and environmental harmony: Caltech. Remarkably, what was once a patchwork of open chaparral and agricultural land has transformed into a living laboratory where science meets sustainability.

Welcome to the beginning of a new academic year! I hope it brings discovery, friendship, joy, and the right kinds of challenges—the ones that help you grow into your talents and feel a sense of pride upon accomplishment.

I’ve always said that playing rugby in America is like being a humanities student at Caltech (we’d know, our interim club Treasurer is an Economist).

Edan Lepucki is the rare member of the Caltech community who is better known off-campus than on. Off-campus, she is a New York Times bestselling author who has published five books and counting.

When Laura Flower Kim, now Associate Director at International Student Programs at Caltech, took over the office on the second floor of the Center for Student Services sixteen years ago, most of it was occupied by one giant red file-cabinet filled to the brim with immigration paperwork for international undergraduate and graduate students.

Embedded in the story of food is the story of people: in modern society, the people who grow and harvest it, the people who distribute it, the people who cook it, and if we are at a restaurant, the people who serve it.

There’s a good sandwich, nay, a great sandwich at Broad Café. Quite honestly, this sandwich is glorious. This sandwich is there to pick you up when you are down. It fills you up when you are empty.

TL;DR: Gus’s is a fantastic BBQ restaurant not far from campus.
