Elections Dates and Times

Tuesday, April 2, 2024

Polls open:  April 2 at 8am
Polls close:  April 2 at 5pm

 

Prioritizing senator diversity between all current (four) colleges of the main university campus should be emphasized. This is recommended to ensure the voices of constituents from the entire campus are represented. In addition to representation, this will also help prevent bias for (or against) any specific college during any given academic year.

My goal as President is to make ASMSUB more present in the sense that students come to us with concerns and questions about campus.

I also want to make our office space open more often so people can just hang out.
