Former President of Pi Sigma Epsilon

I've had the pleasure of working with Colten Kidwell in the professional business fraternity, Pi Sigma Epsilon, for over a year and a half and I cannot think of a better individual to have the responsibility of governing the student body of Miami University. Colten's caring, approachable and adaptive personality will be an asset to his role as Student Body President. It is important for a leader to meet with students to determine how to continually improve but also have the ability to manage effectively when issues arise. I am confident that Colten and his team will have a successful term, if elected, because of the aspects mentioned earlier but more importantly his passion for the university and its students.

Ohio State Representative

I confidently endorse Colten Kidwell as a man of integrity and character and wholly capable of leading the Miami University Student Body. He has shown himself to be a hard worker, focused on his goals and able to mobilize and work with many peers. The culmination of his efforts at his film company's premier showing of Retribution was an exciting achievement and demonstration of his commitment to projects and success. Colten Kidwell is a leader with a vision.

Spectrum President

Colten Kidwell's experiential credentials to become ASG's next Student Body President speak for themselves.  Colten has the sharp intellect and inspiring vision to lead Miami's student body into the future.  His proven track record as a successful entrepreneur, executive board member of PSE and accomplished student provides a broad background of experience to enable truly excellent leadership.

Impressing me most, however, has been Colten's willingness and decisive action to expand his view of Miami.  He has proactively sought out new experiences to understand on an intimate level those he wishes to represent, as well as their needs and concerns.  He has proven that he is unafraid to take a firm stance for what he believes is right, regardless of "what we've always done."  This honesty, integrity and assertiveness are the marks of a true leader.  This is the type of person we need to create a revolution in ASG and lead Miami's student body into the future.
