Hello Students,

The Computer Science Students’ Society is having their Annual General Meeting and Elections on Monday March 30th! And you are invited!

As opposed to previous years, this years election will not be done on line. All positions will be voted upon at the meeting itself. This allows students to run for multiple positions, as voting will be done in order of position. All of the positions and their associated duties are available in our constitution here: CSSS Constitution.

If you plan on running for any of the positions, please send am email tocsss@cs.usask.ca with your name and a brief description of why you think you’d be a good addition to the CSSS… or just a funny slogan. You will be given 2 minutes at the meeting prior to voting in order to talk a bit about yourself. However, if you are unable to attend (ie: are out of town) please send us a longer description that we will read for you prior to voting, as well as a list of positions you want to run for.

Questions / comments may be sent to: csss@cs.usask.ca

We will be discussing and voting several issues pertaining to the CSSS for the next academic year. Drinks and snacks will be provided for all those in attendance. CSSS Members will be able to vote on all issues, as well as Executive.

We hope to see you all on March 30th!
