Yay Elections!

I would really encourage all first years to check out the info sessions and consider running for FYC. I was on FYC Exec in 2008/2009 and an Ex-Officio/Mentor during 2009/2010 so you can ask me any questions if you want. It is a great way to find your way into MSU Student Government, Who knows eventually you might end up as a Board of Director(President & VP's) who earn $30k+ a year!

Also this is University and everyone starts out on even field, who you were in highschool doesn't particularly matter when you have 5000+ First Years who can potentially vote for you. Plus this election will be the first run of the new Electronic Voting system so its easier to get people to vote for you and social media plays a huge role! In any case you guys have nothing to lose.
