These are the candidates for the College of Human and Environmental Sciences Senate Seats in the Spring 2025 SGA General Election.
Hannon Bulger
Hi UA! My name is Hannon Bulger, and I am running for re-election to serve as one of your College of Human Environmental Sciences Senators. Throughout my time at the Capstone, I’ve been involved with SGA in many different ways, from serving as the Secretary of the First Year Council my freshman year to currently serving as the External Affairs Committee head for the Senate. Through it all, my passion for helping students through the legislative route has only grown, and I’m hoping to continue this work in the next year. From authoring legislation encouraging the use of biodegradable confetti on campus, to installing more bike racks where students saw fit, my work is centered around four points that I hope to continue with in the next year: Campus, Community, Celebration, and Connection. I’m excited by the prospect of serving students another year in the Senate, and remember to go #AllinonHannon!

Bree McLean
Hey everyone! I’m Bree McLean from Marietta, GA, and I’m excited to announce that I’m running for SGA Senate. Choosing to attend UA has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The university has inspired me daily to reach my goals, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities it’s provided. I’ve always had a passion for service, which led me to participate in events like Miracles on the Green. Giving back to this community that’s already given me so much has been an honor.
I’m deeply committed to making UA a place where every student feels heard, valued, and supported. My goal is to inspire positive change and ensure that everyone’s voice is represented.

Aliya Resendez
Hello UA! My name is Aliya Resendez, and I am a sophomore from California! I am majoring in Public Health with aspirations of pursuing a career in the medical field. During my time at Alabama, I’ve been honored to serve in leadership roles within the Student Government Association and Zeta Tau Alpha, experiences that have deepened my passion for serving others.
I am running for Senator of the College of Human and Environmental Sciences because I believe in making tangible improvements for our students. My campaign, All In with Aliya, reflects my commitment to advocating for the needs of our diverse college community and ensuring every student feels supported.
My platform focuses on enhancing academic resources and creating inclusive opportunities. Key initiatives include: improving Rodgers Library by updating its seating, expanding study spaces, and soundproofing rooms; implementing “Library Loyalty” points to prioritize room bookings during peak times like finals; and securing personal advisors for pre-health students. I also aim to introduce a suggestion form to give students with underrepresented majors a voice within our college.
With your support, I will work tirelessly to turn these ideas into actionable change. Together, we can create a better experience for all students in our college. Let’s go All In with Aliya!
