While at UCLA, Cindy served on USAC, the Undergraduate Student Association Council. She was elected to the position of Financial Supports Commissioner. Previous posts have discussed her involvement in USAC, and with several student groups at UCLA.
This election season reminded me of the time we spent campaigning for Cindy when she ran for office. Andrew painted her signboard, and helped with the signboards for several of her friends who were part of her "slate". I know she would have continued her involvement in public policy, and activism within the community, once she finished her degree at UCLA.
Just walking the dog around the neighborhood and seeing all the campaign lawn signs made me reflect on the idea that Cindy could have definitely run for some form of public office at some point after college. I'm a registered voter, and try to stay aware of current events and issues. But I realize now that becoming even more aware, and ideally more active, is yet another way to honor Cindy's memory.
I remember these boards vividly...best ones in any election while I was in school!
