Western Student Association Elections

Every facet of the Western Student Association seeks to enshrine all WMU students as the primary benefactors and beneficiaries of their Student Association.

We are given none so great an opportunity to validate this commitment than our annual elections.

We humbly ask that you excercise your vote and tell us how we can better serve you.
