STUSU Spring General Elections 2012
It’s time.
The STUSU Spring General Elections are quickly approaching.
Within the next month, St. Thomas University Students’ Union is holding its Spring General Elections. With nominations still a few weeks away (see below dates for more information), we at the STUSU highly encourage students to begin contemplating their future involvement on campus. Now is the time to begin approaching current STUSU reps to see which position may suit your interests best. Or, visit www.stusu.ca for more information.
Established over 75 years ago, the St. Thomas University Students’ Union is a democratic and collective body that strives to represent all students at St. Thomas University. We aim to enhance your university experience by advocating for students within the university and at the municipal, provincial and federal level–while providing you with great services such as the Health Plan, the Universal Bus Pass, Safe Ride, Help Desk, STUgenda, Emergency Bursaries and so much more.
But we can’t do it alone. . .
