Brad Tucker, the current student representative on the ASA Council will retire from his position at the upcoming AGM of the Society. Two students have nominated for the position and, as a result, a ballot of student members will be held to choose the single representative.
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 Friday 2 July.
The information below has been provided to help you make an informed decision in the ballot.
My name is Donna Burton and I am a mature age Masters Student at University of Southern Queensland. I study externally and will be commencing my PhD next year. I believe that I have a lot to offer with my experience as a more mature aged student in a smaller institution. I am also fortunate to meet and interact with many students from other institutions via my position at Siding Spring Observatory and the ANU. I attend as many student symposiums as I can afford as my University is not well funded and so can understand some of the issues other students experience. I think I could bring a different perspective but a broader one than just as a USQ student.
Hi everyone! I'm Jacinta and I'm a second year PhD student at the University of Western Australia and the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research. I also spend part of my time each year at Oxford University working with my external supervisor. I study galaxy evolution using radio, infrared and optical data. So far I have been observing at Parkes, the AAT and Gemini South and have enjoyed it a lot. I was on the 2010 Harley Wood school Scientific Organising Committee and have experience in conference organisation at UWA. My hobbies include ballet and swing dancing and I like to get involved in as much science outreach as possible. I am very interested in finding out how the Australian astronomy community functions as a whole and would love to represent the student voice. I think I'm a friendly and easy person to talk to and would happily pass on any of your comments or concerns to the powers that be.
