Associated Students, Inc. (ASI)
ASI Election Candidates
ASI Elections are an important part of campus involvment. It allows students to help make changes throughout the campus for their fellow students. Some programs that started in ASI grow and get taken over by other campus organizations once they expand outside of our capacity and have proven their importance around campus. Examples of such programs include, Free Menstral products in campus restrooms, Campus Childcare, Tech support/Tech lending. ASI thanks every candidate and student who votes or participates in Elections for choosing to make a difference.
