Each year, the position of student representative on the ASA Council is open for nominations, much like the other positions on the Council. In 2011 Donna Burton, the current student representative, would like to continue on for another year. However, a second student has also nominated and so we will conduct a ballot via email that will close on the last day of the HWWS.
This ballot is more informal than the ballot for other Council positions. To vote, simply send an email to Brad Tucker (brad@mso.anu.edu.au) with the name of your first choice for ASA student representative before 5pm Saturday 2 July. Brad is a former student representative and will collate the results.
The information below has been provided to help you make an informed decision in the ballot.
Hi - I am Donna Burton from the University of Southern Queensland and Siding Spring Observatory. I have been your student rep for the last 12 months and would enjoy the opportunity to continue in the role for another year so as to maintain the impetus and consistency on the Council. I am a mature age Student finishing Masters this year and entering PhD next year. I study at a regional university and understand a lot of the problems of the non-traditional student of juggling family, study, work and trying to have a life. I have good relationships with many of you and will as usual will always be available to contact and put forward your concerns to Council. I attend as many student events as I can so I get to meet and speak to as many of you as possible so that I can understand your concerns. I think there is an advantage of serving more than one term as there is the opportunity to finish what has been started and follow through on initiatives and decisions. I would like your vote and will see you in Adelaide at HWWS and the ASM. Contact me on donna.burton@usq.edu.au.
Hola! I'm Andy Casey and I'd like to represent you on the ASA Council. For those of you who haven't met me yet, I'm a second year PhD student at the ANU. If elected in July, I will steadfastly represent all issues that you'd like the Council to participate in. This may include problems that student members face (either individually or as a whole), or new ideas for the Council to consider. I will also take the initiative to ensure that all ASA student members are immediately aware of Council decisions which are likely to affect them. Hopefully this will allow all of us to maintain a much more participatory role with the ASA Council. I'm always contactable to represent your concerns, so please vote in July and give me the opportunity to do so. If you have any questions before casting your vote, feel free to email me at acasey@mso.anu.edu.au. See you in Adelaide!
