Students need their own voice so make the right choice

I'm very excited to participate in this year's student union election. I'm looking forward to helping build a strong and resilient student movement on our campuses with your help. Students are at capacity trying to survive juggling studies, exams, and readings as well as high rents, low wages, high tuition costs and unprecedented crises being built onto more crises. It is our responsibility to take action to create a better world, not only for ourselves but also for future students. I intend to help students make their voices heard by those decision-makers who've forgotten the sound of their voices. I am a lead organizer of the Nelson Tenants Union, a member of the BCGEU and a student of the social service worker program. I'd be proud to help represent your needs through the Selkirk College Student Union.

Happy voting.

My name is Chidiogo Ezebube and I am contesting for Student Union Executives Committee. I am here to serve you if you give me the opportunity, I am here to speak for those who don't know who will listen on the recent house crisis students are facing, the high cost of living and tuition fee for international students and the bus timing that will work for all. I believe in change and if we can work together our voices must be heard because we are the future. 

I am a student at Selkirk College, pursuing a Post-Graduate Diploma in Accounting. I have been actively involved in various student events, such as Clothing Drive, Game Nights, Trail Walking and the Career Fair. I am passionate about enhancing the student experience and fostering a sense of community at Selkirk. As a student executive, I would strive to represent the diverse voices and interests of the student body, advocate for their needs and rights, and collaborate with the college administration and external stakeholders. I believe that I have the leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills to be an effective and accountable student executive.
