Congratulations to everyone who got elected in the evening of April 8th! Congrats to everyone who ran! Even though I didn’t win this time, I feel proud to have been part of the 2022 elections as a freshman, and with such ambitious goals.

I want to thank for encouraging me to run for Senate. I want to thank for slating me and supporting me throughout the campaigning process. I want to thank , my deputy campaign manager, for her support and for staying by my side for the entirety of my campaign. I want to thank the rest of the Student Action* slate for accompanying me in this amazing journey. I want to thank my campaign team for helping me with my campaign. I want to thank all my friends who in my moments of desperation came to my rescue and started messaging others to vote for me. I want to thank my competitors for teaching me how to win the elections. It was a period of high personal development, and it wouldn’t have been like this without everyone I mentioned above.

It’s unfortunate that I failed to persuade others in believing, breathing and living for my vision of making The Berkeley Dynasty. I hope the elected officials learn to see beyond just the short-term problems that need patching, and pursue a grander vision that includes International Students and Social Entrepreneurship as part of the core (as opposed to the periphery).

Ryusei out.

Elif Sensurucu, ASUC Senator* and Co-President at Berkeley Entrepreneurs Association, invited me to join her team when I was a 3 weeks-old freshman. She mentored me and showed me ropes. After 3 months, I lead the organization of the first ASUC Startup Expo*, bringing 4 SkyDeck* startups.

I have grown so much since I first arrived to Berkeley*, in part thanks to Elif. Because she chose to believe in me; she had a hunch about my potential. Now that she is graduating, I want to continue and build on top of her legacy.

Elif Sensurucu, ASUC Senator* and Co-President of Berkeley Entrepreneurs Association, invited me to join her Senior Staff Team when I was a 3 week-old freshman. I remember getting lost and arriving 15 min late to our first Senior Staff meeting, because I had no idea where Engineers Student Service was. She mentored, and showed me the ropes. And 3 months later, I lead the organization of the first ASUC Startup Expo*, bringing 4 SkyDeck startups.

I owe much of my growth and success to Elif. She chose to believe in me (a freshman) because she had a hunch about my potential. I became her Director of International Affairs*. Now that she is graduating, I want to continue and build on top of her legacy. Make her feel proud.
