Get to know
your ASUC senator: a profile of Igor Tregub
Nickname: Iggy
Hometown: Oakpark, CA
Favorite study beverage: Monster drink (better tasting version
of Red Bull)
Favorite study break activity: Singing and writing music, pampering
his ’95 Altima.
Involvements on campus:
ASME, ME honor society Pi Tau Sigma, Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity
and CalPIRG.
Why he ran: “I want the ASUC to be as amazing as the students
it represents and help make sure engineers get the publicity they deserve
within the organization.”
After the shock of their
freshman year, most students don’t dive headlong into responsibility
that borrows more time from classes. But ME student Igor Tregub felt
so passionately about improving the lives of students via student government
that he campaigned vigorously (to the detriment of his grades) for ASUC
senate.
He says the teamwork between him and his engineering running mates helped
him get elected. Now, he’s eager to give back to the community
that elected him. His priority is to raise awareness about ASUC resources
among engineers.
“I want to install ASUC billboards on Northside so people know
what the ASUC is doing. I also want to make engineers aware of what
student government can do for them. The services range from troubleshooting
resources and consultations to outreach and education,” he says.
Engineers need to know how resources get distributed, he says. “It’s
just a matter of plugging them into the larger network,” he adds.
Iggy is here to help. He encourages students to contact him with concerns
at iggyt@berkeley.edu or 510-295-8798.
