What are you most looking forward to with regards to Obama’s presidency?

Education reform—I feel like it’s really important for our country as a whole and inner city kids in particular. The majority of people in the inner city are African American and the fact that we have our first black president (the last occupation a black man hasn’t filled) can make a difference with a problem that [we have been struggling with] for decades.

I’m excited to see his wind and solar energy plan put into action so we don’t have to rely on clean coal in Missouri for the next 200 years.

– Zachariah Dumey, freshman

An intellectual president who respects the advice of academics, especially because we will make strides in the arenas of public transportation and health reform.

– Vinay Rathi, sophomore

The removal of the troops from Iraq.

–Arielle Rothstein, freshman
