ASISU Elections
In the last ROAR Weekly, we addressed the role ASISU has played in addressing student concerns to administrations and how they can improve your college experience. Here is what candidates have to say about voting:
The students who are elected for office are the spokespeople for all students at ISU.
- You have a right to be heard and have your perspective represented.
- You have the right to select the candidates who have your best interest in mind.
- Voting is a way to be active in ensuring that your life on-campus is a positive experience.
- Without voting, you cannot be accurately heard or represented; thus, your voice is limited.
- You have every right to be selfish in your education, and Associated Students of Idaho State University (ASISU) will advocate for the right.
