Gresely announces running mate

With a “Boris: An Alliance for Change” banner waving outside Hall of Languages on Wednesday morning, Boris Gresely announced the running mate for his Student Association presidential campaign.

Gresely, a junior political science and policy studies major, announced Daniela Lopez as his vice presidential candidate.

“A lot of people don’t understand the importance of a vice president, and I wanted to acknowledge it by having this event,” he said. “She’s extremely charismatic and she’s a real leader.”

Lopez is a junior political science, policy studies and Spanish major, as well as a Renee Crown Honors student. She served in SA during her freshman and sophomore years. During that time, she served as the chair of the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics home college committee, and was on the Student Engagement Committee. Currently, she sits on the University Senate’s Committee for Diversity.

As vice president, Lopez said she would hope to bridge the gap between students of Syracuse University and the faculty and administration members at the school to work toward positive development, and echoed the sentiments behind Gresely’s “Alliance for Change” campaign.



Gresely announced his candidacy on Sept. 23, and said he plans his campaign on three components: reform, reconnect and redirect. He also said he plans to create a three-branch system within SA.

Gresely said he selected Lopez to be his running mate because of her qualifications as an SA member and the work the two did together during the 55th and 56th sessions.

He will be running against Duane Ford and Ivan Rosales for the presidency in this year’s presidential election.
