The candidates for the UPEISU’s executive election have been announced. All three positions will go uncontested.
There will be a candidates debate on Thursday, January 24th at The Fox and Crow at 5pm. Voting will take place on Tuesday, January 29th and Wednesday, January 30th via myUPEI. Inquiries or complaints relating to the election can be directed to Michael Ferguson at cro@upeisu.ca.
