BIO for President Candidate Ryan Lahti
Jan 29, 2010

Hello Friends,

My name is Ryan Lahti and I have spent the past year representing you NUSU as Vice President Internal. Since elected I’ve been highly involved in representing you on: Academic Senate, Board of Governors, and on NUSU. I am currently running for the position of President and I know that I am the perfect candidate for the job. I’ve been heavily involved with student events and activities such as: Club Daze, Frosh Week, Shinerama, NSO, Learning Library Campaign, and much more. Some key points from my platform include: The importance of continuity, new initiatives, and student representation.

Continuity is a vital part of NUSU because the council changes every year. I’ve gained a great deal of experience, knowledge, and connections with faculty and administration which will eliminate the learning curve that many new presidents face.

Some new initiatives on campus that I am looking forward to are the: recycling programs, more sustainability, and working closer with students to receive input on any/all of their concerns.

Student representation is the number one reason why there is a student union. This year I have conducted Student Senator, Delegate, and Valedictorian elections which have increased the amount of power the students have.

I wish all candidates good luck in this election, and fully believe that the student of Nipissing University will make the right decision! Vote on experience, vote Ryan Lahti.
