Important SSU Elections DATES

DON’T MISS THE CHANCE TO GET INVOLVED:

  • What is Campaign Week?

    Campaign Week is where students running in the SSU elections will be promoted around the halls and explain their platform to fellow students.

    Why is Campaign Week important for candidates?

    This is your chance to speak to students directly about your platform, listen to student concerns, and show how you are hoping to addresses their concerns once inside the board room. Essentially, this is the time to build awareness that you are running in the student election and tell students why they should vote for you.

    Why is Campaign Week important for Sheridan students?

    The Board of Directors consists of 12 elected students at Sheridan, 4 from each campus, who work together to make proposals on behalf of the student body. The decisions made by the Board will in time, impact student well-being and access to a quality education.
