Voting opens today for the Mount Allison Students’ Union council fall elections.
Nine students are running for five different positions on the MASU council.
CHMA and the Argosy have collaborated on a questionnaire to help get to know the candidates, and find out what they have in mind for the Mount Allison community.
Candidates talk about a host of possible changes they’d like to see at Mount Allison: better crisis training for residence assistants, green initiatives on campus, spaces for students and community to share international cultures, improved sexual harassment awareness, and getting the lowdown on those increases in tuition fees.
Here are the candidates, answering the CHMA-Argosy questionnaire:
