They’re finally here – the annual ASI student government elections. With only a couple of weeks until students cast their votes, you might be wondering – why should I vote? We’re here to prove that it’s worth your while.

The new VPSA will oversee a $38 million annual operating budget in addition to many important departments on campus, such as Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), Housing & Residential Life, the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and many more. Moreover, the selected VPSA will serve as the direct link between students and President Jane Conoley, which will make them a key advocate for the needs of the student body – which is why it is imperative students come out to meet the candidates.
