Name: Kat WoernerÂ
Major(s): Economics, environmental studies and natural resource and environmental economicsÂ
Party: Revitalize
Year(s) in ASUN: ThreeÂ
Reason for Running: âSustainability has been a pillar in which ASUN parties have run on for years, but beyond a few ideas here or there, very few initiatives have been truly accomplished. This year was my first year as an ASUN senator and within a few short months, I was able to change the bylaws to make every ASUN sponsored event zero-waste and every ASUN-sponsored travel carbon neutral. I want to do more and make UNL more environmentally sustainable. I decided to run to advance sustainability at UNL through legislation and communication.â Â
