Message from ANUSA President Phoenix O'Neill

Hi all,

I hope that grade release day went well for everybody (and please see our support services below if you need any assistance).

ANUSA elections will be coming up in semester two. The ANUSA executive are all available to be consulted on elections, should candidates wish to ask any questions about their role or about policy. Consultation with any candidate is confidential and cannot be used for electoral gain. We encourage all prospective candidates to consult with the current office-bearer.

There have also been big changes to graduations announced at the ANU. If you have any concerns you would like to raise, please feel free to email me at sa.president@anu.edu.au and I will be raising these with the University early next week. You can also let the University know directly on the University Feedback Form.

Enjoy your winter break!

Phoenix
