Daniel Breitbarth Named President of GSB at Iowa State University
Saydel High School Graduate Daniel Breitbarth, son of Paul and Dianne Breitbarth, has been named as the 2015 President of the Government of the Student Body (GSB) at Iowa State University in Ames, IA. He will be a spokesperson and leader for approximately 33,000 enrolled students at the university. The mission of the GSB is to serve all students and improve their college experience through advocacy and empowerment.
Daniel campaigned on several issues, including increasing campus parking and making sidewalks on campus safer for students. He has already been working on accomplishing goals, including Veishea and overcrowding.
Daniel is majoring in business economics and management. He is expected to graduate in 2016. He is from Saylorville, IA, and he was the President of Willow Hall during his freshman year at ISU. Daniel has also served on IRHA and was a part of the Leadership Committee. While a part of IRHA, he helped in the passing of legislation such as rentable projectors for Willow Hall and the leadership retreat for residence hall students. He is also a part of the Iowa Statesmen, ISU’s male choral group, and Business Council.
During his first full year on GSB, Daniel was a part of the University Affairs Committee and served as Vice Chair of the committee. He worked on several important projects and many financial funding bills for student organizations, but primarily focused on the addition of a walk path near Linden Hall and the renovation of the HUB. Daniel is interested in developing a more unified College of Business and continuing to improve student involvement in the university’s decisions. He loves problem solving and is always looking for new student projects to take on. Daniel is looking forward to working as an intern this spring at Senator Chuck Grassley’s office.
Congratulations to Daniel on his new leadership position!
