CSA Update- Week of March 28th- April 1st

This is Nana Boaten, CSA Senator for International Relations. The 2010-2011 academic year is gradually coming to an end at the University of Minnesota, Crookston and the tenure of executive board members on the Crookston Student Association is also coming to an end.  The time has come for a new dynamic breed of students to take up the mantle of leadership to help run and steer the affairs of the Crookston Student Council.  Elections are just around the corner and the opening and closing of applications for student government was just completed between the 21^st and 27^th of March 2011.  The application deadline was March 27^th, 2011 and it is hoped that, a lot of students would be encouraged to take up leadership positions on the Student Council for the next academic year. Campaigning for elections are all this week- and Elections will be taking place Monday- April 4^th and Tuesday- April 5^th from 10AM-2PM in the Student Center each day, so come out and vote! Also, on Monday- April 4^th at the elections table, there will be voting to adopt the new CSA Constitution- this takes a full student body vote, so please vote for that as well.

Also, the University of Minnesota, Crookston Campus Assembly event will be held on March 31, 2011 at Bede Ballroom.  This is an opportunity to learn from the Chancellor the important strides that are being made to uplift and enhance the academic experience at the university and also an opportunity for various committees to present their activities and programs that they have been working on over the past weeks.  We encourage the high attendance rate from students to come and share their thoughts and ideas as to how to make the university a better place for everybody.
