Our Story
Why We're Running
The pub closure was the spark.
But the real issue runs deeper: students are too often informed after decisions are already made. We find out about major changes to student life when it's already too late to have a voice.
This campaign is about changing that. We want a student government that's more action-oriented, more respected by administration, and more accountable to the students it serves.
Less bylaws. More outcomes.
