LETTER: Turn out for student democracy
When I received my first email from BigPulse as a first-year student, I assumed it was spam mail. The message actually contained links to vote in my hall’s Residential Life Experience, but I didn’t know anyone running for RLE — nor did I know what the Association Council or the First Council did. Now as a member of the University Board of Elections, I regret not voting in those earlier elections — I have since realized how much influence student self-governance has on Grounds. Voting in these elections is easy, and it also allows us to exercise the agency we have been granted as students at the University.
