The chance to make an impact through the Big 12 Council is a great opportunity.

-Ryan Rowan

Rowan, Pan-Hellenic senator, stepped down to take the position as chair for the Big 12 Council on Black Student Government. He plans to continue to make an impact on the University through a Senate seat.

“I had a decision to make on where I could better serve my community,” Rowan said. “The chance to make an impact through the Big 12 Council is a great opportunity.”

“It was a difficult choice for Ryan,” Cross said. “Delta Force fully supports his decision.”

Rowan also supports Delta Force’s decision to nominate Stuewe.

“John will make an excellent president and Liz will help him succeed,” Rowan said.

Jarrod Morgenstern, Overland Park, junior, and communications director for Delta Force, said he was happy with the change.

“I am excited to see Liz added to the Delta Force ticket. She is so passionate and committed to making KU the best place it can be for students.”

Stuewe planned to run as a senator for Delta Force this spring but was thrilled with her new nomination.

“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to serve the Jayhawk nation,” Stuewe said.

Cross said the change in Delta Force’s election ticket will not affect campaign progress.

“Delta Forces isn’t about just one or two people, it’s about values and positive change,” Cross said.
