Nominations are now being accepted for AUSU By-Election 2015!

If you are interested in helping to shape your AU experience, consider becoming a councillor with the Athabasca University Student’s Union (AUSU). Currently, the 9-seat council has 6 seats open for nomination.

Nominations are being accepted from now until July 31st @ 11:59pm MST.

The 2015 By-Election voting period will run 4 days from August 21st – 24th inclusive, and the new councillors will be sworn in and begin their positions in early September 2015.
