Meet the Candidates BBQ and other events connects AS candidates with SJSU students

The blaring of top-40 hits mixed with the sizzle of hot dogs on the grill greeted students at the Associated Students Meet the Candidates BBQ on Thursday .

Hosted at the barbecue pits near the A.S. House, the event allowed candidates running for student government to interact with students prior to the elections.

“I felt the event accomplished the goal of talking to people,” said Calvin Worsnup, current vice president of A.S. “Lots of people seemed interested in the elections.”

According to Worsnup, who is running for the position of president, the barbecue had 1,000 hot dog buns at the beginning but 250 were left by the end of the event.

Before the barbecue, an open forum and debate were held for students interested in learning more about the candidates in addition to the issues they hope to improve on the campus last Tuesday and Wednesday.
