Elect ONE of the following candidates:

Candidate	Bio
Jeff Boudreau	Hello Fellow Arts Students, My name is Jeff Boudreau; I am in my third year working towards a major in History and Archaeology of Greece, Rome, and the Near East and Co-President of the CNERS Student Association. I am running for Arts Undergraduate Society President because I feel like I can help move Arts and the AUS forward to greater student engagement and involvement through having the AUS working more closely with the Arts Clubs to hold more events each month. I also feel that there is a need for a review of governance with regards to the position of General Officer and lastly, I believe it is time to seriously start looking at Arts Students having their own dedicated building. With your votes and the right leadership, we can make this a reality. Cheers, Jeff Boudreau
Jenny Chen	Create a more functional and enjoyable space for Arts students through renovations of current Arts space Giving back to the students by providing Arts specific events and benefits Represent Arts students by advocating for Arts centred issues Having been involved with the AUS for the past three years made me realize how much potential it held. Working as VP Student Life this past year has taught me not only what the organization needs but also what Arts students need. Arts students need a home away from home, a space where they can study, socialize or simply to wind down. By creating a more functional student space, students will be able to enjoy amenities such as meeting rooms, printers and silent study space. Caring for Arts students and their best interest is what motivates AUS and everyone in it. I believe it is time for us to give back to the students. Whether it is through services, events or simply academic and social support, we need to strive to become the go-to people for students in need. While the university is constantly working to improve its programs, it is not enough to satisfy the ever-changing needs of Arts students. Advocating for issues such as minors in other faculties as well degree requirements and structures will help students better achieve their goal.
