Hello Huskies,
It’s ASUW election season! Help decide who represents student voices on campus — vote in the upcoming general election.
ASUW is your association of students, representing you and your interests to the University. It advocates for student needs, sponsors events and provides resources for services and programs. Candidates are running for a variety of offices, including president, director of programming, director of diversity efforts and more.
Only 7 percent of students voted in last year’s elections, according to the ASUW Elections Administration Committee, so be sure to turn out and make your voice heard this year. Get to know your candidates, stay up to date with election news and vote April 21-23.
