Thank you for caring and for voting - all of you are super awesome and we look forward to not only finding something for you next year, but hearing your ideas, hopes, and continuing to work with all of you to make McMaster a better place! Thank you so much!" - Shawn

Via the MSU: The unofficial winner has been declared; Siobhan Stewart is the 2012-2013 President-elect of the McMaster Students Union. The President takes office on May 1st, 2012. Results are unofficial as all candidates have five (5) business days to appeal their fines and contest the results.

I'm not too surprised that she won after she promised a fall reading week.

More or less. When you consider that the largest demographic of votes is first years it's not particularly surprising that they would buy into it.

I wouldn't think it's because of the first years but due to particular faculties but there's no need to delve into details here.

^^ yea i doubt that the fall reading week will ever happen, and imo i dont think there needs to be one seeing as we just got of the summer break. the smart thing to do would be to extend the winter break between the 2 terms because form what i can tell mcmaster has one of the shortest ones of all the unis in ontario and i think its more important to have a break between 2 full terms than one right after only a month of school.

but w.e's

congrats and heres hoping for the best

p.s. please dont be like a real politician and lets actually see some of those promises come through, but dont worry i wont hold you to the fall reading week one lol

Actually, for next year winter break is extended for another week. We don't have to go back until January 7th now!

That was a really poorly filmed interview. Who speaks at an angle? You want to address your audience not the person across from you.
