Students who have ever dreamed of being called president has their chance to earn that title now that nominations are open for the next students’ union election.<\/p>\n
Brock University Students’ Union (BUSU) <\/a>is accepting candidate nominations for the elected roles of president and three vice-presidents: finance and administration, student services, and university affairs.<\/p>\n Three seats are also open on BUSU’s board of directors.<\/p>\n “Being in one of those positions, you get to be like the head of an organization, which is like being the head of a corporation,” said Jimmy Norman, BUSU’s chief returning officer.<\/p>\n Norman, who served on the Brock University Students’ Administrative Council (BUSAC), said being elected to serve fellow students helps strengthen the Brock community.<\/p>\n “It was good for me because you get to listen to constituents and bring forth issues that are important to them,” he said. “You do get a sense that you’re voicing the concerns of students and making Brock a better place.”<\/p>\n Nomination forms are available at the BUSU office in the Student-Alumni Centre<\/a> and are due Friday, Jan. 25 at 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n The campaign period runs Feb. 4 to 14 and those elected to the students’ union serve a one-year term from May 2013 to May 2014.<\/p>\n There is no fee for nominations. Election campaigns have a $300-spending limit, though that money is reimbursed by BUSU when candidates submit receipts for campaign expenses. Campaign loans are also available for students in need.<\/p>\n For more information, contact Norman at cro@busu.net<\/a> or visit the BUSU website.<\/a><\/p>\n “I’ll sit down with (prospective candidates) at any time,” Norman said. “This is a great way to get involved at Brock.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Any student who has ever dreamed of being called president has their chance to earn that title now that nominations are open for the next students’ union election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":20260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[133,740],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20258"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20258"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20264,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20258\/revisions\/20264"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
