HAHAHAHA YESSSS!

As an SRA Rep, I think it would be in your best interest to run in SRA Generals. If you get the engineering seat in the SRA, you will have MSU viewpoints and opinions to bring to the table at Senate (pending your victory, of course). As a frequent MI user, you could provide a very good link between this online community and MacInsiders users who do not frequent SRA meetings yet criticize the MSU and its operations.

Best of luck, and if you need a signature for nomination I have my office hours Tuesday morning in MUSC 204.

ok, you convinced me I'm getting the nomination package on Monday. Let's see if I can do this

Alright, I am now running in the SRA election too, handed in my nomination 20 minutes ago.

So what specifically is your platform? All i see is resumes on that site.

Hey, this is why I'm going to have the focus meeting with Engineering students next Tuesday, to explain the purpose of senate, my role in a senate position, and how students are benefited by decisions made in senate.

But here is a quick run-through:

The senate meets once a month to discuss administrative and academic issues. These can include the way classes are structured, projects, teaching styles and course objectives. Now, as a member of senate, my two main jobs will be to do two things(plus one):
1. bring undergraduate engineering issues to the table - I get these from interacting with people in engineering every day, from this forum, from the SRA, if I get elected there as well
2. vote on issues that are brought forward in senate
3. Bonus point(this is my "platform"): I will keep people informed on important issues from senate by ways of MacInsiders and personal communication.

So you see, a resume is a much more appropriate medium of presentation than a platform(I am not in a leadership position).

Also, feel free to ask more questions, or come to the focus meeting next Tuesday(I will remind people via this thread closer to the day).
Adrian

i guess you could say I'm pro-student

Anyway, regarding the SRA, the nomination meeting was tonight. Apparently there were 4 nominations for 5 seats, so I, along with the other 3 candidates are "acclaimed". Good, now I can focus on getting the senate seat.

Lol yeah that was such a fail on the Engineering Students/Faculties part! They couldn't even get FIVE people to show up, let alone have an election!

Congrats though

Just to remind all you engineers, I am holding the senate focus group in Mills Library, room L310/E(3rd floor) on March 9th(tomorrow), from 3pm to 5pm.
