Why should you run for Council?
Make your student voice heard during a time when Athabasca University navigates their way through government funding cuts and changes to the Alberta post-secondary system.
Help advocate on behalf of your fellow AU students and create a student community for AU students all over the world.
AUSU student advocacy is not just about Alberta – it impacts all AU students across Canada and around the world. Be on the forefront of determining what your academic experience at AU will be.
Now more than ever, the voice of the AU Students’ Union council will have an impact on your future
Run for AUSU Student Council!
AU undergraduate students can run for council no matter where they live or what they study. Since AU students are all distance learners, councillors participate remotely from all over the world, and most council work is done through email and teleconference.
There are 13 council seats available, which will be elected during the AUSU general election held February 25 to March 2, 2020. Additionally, following the general election, the new council will internally elect the three executive positions – President, VP External and Student Affairs, and VP Finance and Administration.
To run for council, submit the completed Nomination Package to the Chief Returning Officer, Bailey Daines, at cro@ausu.org by February 7, 2020.
