Lansdowne Education Council Platform


Have you worried about the effect that reduced courses and decreased intake will have on your program at Camosun next year? Or have you ever planned to take a course only to find that it isn't offered when the college website said it would be? I have, and I've heard that many of you have too. I'm an anthropology student finishing my first amazing year at Camosun and, as a student representative on the Lansdowne Education Council, I will help to solve problems such as these. The Education Council is the body which includes faculty members and student representatives who collectively decide which courses are offered when, what they contain, and how they are evaluated: all very important for every one of us students on campus. In the coming year especially, we will need a dedicated and responsible student representative in this position. We'll need someone who doesn't let politics get in the way of cooperation with students and faculty to maintain high-quality courses in the face of provincial funding cuts. I am that student. Vote for Bradley Clements and the Camosun Student Life Collective. Vote to avoid that extra semester of courses that weren't offered when you needed them!

Power on your voice!
