Run for Office
At a time when so many changes are being made on our campus, it's important to have students engaged and involved, and there isn't a better way to do that than to become a Student Senator at the Associated Students of the 猎奇重口 (ASUM), YOUR Student Government.
See a problem on campus that you want addressed? Want to be a part of an engaged body of students? Have ideas for improvement? Want to be a part of that change? Run to be a senator!
We are looking for dedicated students who want to serve and represent all students at UM. Here are a few ways senators effect change on our campus:
- Through being active members of University Committees
- Creating internal changes on our ASUM Committees
- Represent and listen to students at our weekly Senate Meetings (Wednesday nights)
- Act as a liaison to UM Administration
- And so much more!
Events are coming up - check out the calendar below!
