Cami Cress
Senior Vice-President
The Senior VP is a part of the AS Executive Leadership Team with the other AS Vice-Presidents and the President. I attend Biola administrative meetings with the AS President, and a big part of my job is to preside over the Senate. I serve as the supervisor of the Senators and work with them as they develop ideas and proposals for their constituents, as well as ensure that there is a flow of communication from senators to the student body.
