Alyssa Gulliford is a contender for the Executive Director of Student Life in the upcoming MUNSU elections, to be held on the 19th and 20th of March. Her experience with MUNSU largely stems from being a Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) rep for the past year. You may also have seen her before at the Breezeway, hosting events like the open mic nights. On occupying these roles, she says that “through this position, and as the Open Mic Host at the Breezeway, I have planned and hosted many events at the Breezeway and elsewhere”.
When asked about her platform, she stated that it is based on two principals: organization and communication.
“There needs to be communication, not only between MUNSU and the students, but, between the students and MUNSU. We need to put the time and effort into truly representing the students. I am positive I can achieve these high goals through my experience and qualifications.”
In regards to the afore-mentioned experience, she noted,
“I have been involved in planning and hosting events for 10 years. I am very familiar with many aspects of the University community as I have been involved in numerous groups, communities and clubs. I lived in residence for 2 years, with one of those years being a Residence Assistant. I am completely dedicated to our student community”.
She is very passionate about student government and MUNSU, saying in her correspondence with us, “This is what I do”.
Alyssa encourages anyone who has questions about her campaign to email her at the address forstudentsforlife@gmail.com . Her twitter is also available at @lyssgulliford, and you can find a Facebook page dedicated to her campaign under “Alyssa Gulliford for Student Life”.
