Davis campaigned with the platform 鈥淐ontrol + Alt + Delete鈥� and the concept that students can take control of their environments.
鈥淚 know that if we alter the culture of a non-inclusive campus and put our best efforts forth as students, we can delete the problems we commonly face,鈥� he explained. 鈥淎s president, I plan to encourage campus involvement and unite students to bring about change to every-day inconveniences that are commonly expressed and experienced.鈥�
