Zayed and Holechko ran on four key initiatives, according to their official campaign Instagram page:
Defunding the DePaul FOP tuition discount
Creating a new scholarship to help students purchase/rent their textbooks
Increasing communication between university administration & students
Free university counseling services after the pandemic.
Zayed previously held the position of SGA’s Vice President, and Holechko was previously the senator for the College of Education.
The pair ran against Wesley Janicki and Keith Norward, who previously held the roles as Executive Vice President of Facility Operations and the Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs.
DePaul’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate ensures that all students will be safe from infecting themselves and others from both the virus and new strains. As a freshman student, I would not have considered returning to campus in the fall if DePaul had not mandated the vaccine. There is too much risk of exposure and infection if a majority of the campus is not vaccinated.

Moderna is 94.1 percent effective,Pfzier being 95 percent effective and Johnson & Johnson is 66.3 percent effective, according to the CDC.

DePaul’s Vice President of Enrollment Management Soumitra Ghosh joined DePaul’s Student Government Association during its general body meeting Thursday providing members with an update about the university’s enrollment numbers for spring and fall 2021.
According to Ghosh, the university will end spring quarter with a total headcount of 19,012 students, which was 97 percent of DePaul’s budgeted goal of 19,597 students but 2.7 percent behind compared to spring quarter last year.

Some of DePaul’s colleges have not met DePaul’s budgeted enrollment goals.

Alik Schier has trouble viewing his college classes as what they are: school.
“I know I’ve got to do class, but it’s like camera off, mic off, taking notes and then ‘bye!’” the DePaul freshman said, slamming an imaginary laptop.
Schier is just one of 19.6 million American college students who plunged into online schooling last spring when the Covid-19 pandemic began infecting millions, decimating normal everyday life. A year later, the effects that those changes have had on students are becoming apparent.
“Online school is one of the most challenging experiences, especially when starting a completely new format of schooling in general,” said Austin Glass, a freshman at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “I don’t know the expectations other than just get work done, and it’s honestly stressful when that becomes my entire identity at the school. I feel like success has been reduced c
