Make this your year to lead

Do you think you have what it takes to make Fanshawe great?

Nominations for positions on student council open on Monday, January 24 at 9 a.m. Forms are available in SC 2001, the FSU office.

There are five vice-president positions available: athletics, internal affairs, finance, external affairs and entertainment, all of which are open to returning full-time Fanshawe students who have maintained a GPA of at least 2.5. These positions require a time commitment of at least 10 hours every week.

The president position requires a full-time commitment, so it is only open to students who are graduating this semester.

To get nominated, pick up a nomination form from the FSU office in SC2001. Vice-president nominations require 20 signatures from full-time Fanshawe students, while a nomination for the president position requires 40 signatures. All forms must be handed into SC 2001 by Friday, February 18 at 4 p.m.

Every candidate is encouraged to submit a bio or election comment to the Interrobang by March 8 at 2 p.m. — we'll even take your picture for the paper! Submit bios to John Said at jsaid@fanshawec.ca.

Start honing those art and design skills now — campaign posters go up on March 9, and must be taken down by March 17.

You can vote on campus from March 14 to 17, or vote on FanshaweOnline. Winners will be announced in Forwell Hall in the afternoon on March 17.

All elected officials will take office from May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012.

Got questions? Ask one of the current VPs or President Joe Scalia himself. You can visit them in their office in SC 2001.
