Hey guys!

The frosh picks have been made and I would like to welcome all the new people who made it onto the 2010 frosh leader team. If you would like to learn more about these amazing individuals you can go to http://www.nusu.com/ and click "services" followed by "frosh". These are the people who braved the crrazzzyyy interview process and impressed the co-ordinators! To all of you who tried out but weren't chosen DON'T GIVE UP! Come out to wall nights, and events like shinerama, there is space enough for everyone to come and have a part in frosh week. Maybe next year is your year, so don't lose hope! There are so many amazing people that its really difficult to choose, so don't feel bad. Anyways I will see you on team #1 in September 2010!

Until next time...keep on dancin'

Two reading weeks is always better than one...

Hey guys,

*Sigh* well its the end of reading week and I am back in North Bay for the big finish...the last weeks of school. Now some people know, Nip gets two reading weeks...I am really not sure why...word on the street is that the Northern schools get two because suicide rates are higher...I don't know if I believe that...but anyways two is wayyyy better than one. I really think all schools should have two reading weeks, it helps with the stress level of the students. I can't imagine not having a break from September until Christmas, that sounds crazy. And as much as some students take that week off, or go on vacation, I get SO much extra work done. I don't know about everyone else but the work just piles up in the last week of Feb, and then as soon as March hits, its non-stop homework. No outings, no bar, just staying in and making sure everything is handed in on time. So I hope that everyone had a great and productive reading week, and for all those people who got to go on vacation...SO jealous, but I hope you had a blast!

Until next time, keep on dancin'

Food for Fines!

Hey guys!

I wanted to tell you about a really awesome thing that's going on at the library, its called "Food for fines" and its a great program that gives back to students! We've all lost track of our book due date at one time or another, and the Nip library is here to give us a break. How it works is instead of paying off your library fines with cash, you can pay them off with non-perishable food items which will go to helping re-stock the student food bank.

So how it works is every item of food you bring equals $2 and you are allowed to bring up to $20 worth of items...so 10 is the max you can bring. So if you owe any money to the library, why not help out your fellow students and save yourself some cash!

Love Frosh? Sign up for an interview!

Hey guys!

Did you LOVE frosh week, and want to relive it again and again...I know I did! It's time to discover your inner frosh leader! Applications can be picked up in the NUSU office and you need to sign up for an interview. I've been a frosh leader for 2 years now and next year will be my last year, which actually breaks my heart! But as veterans retire...there are openings for new frosh leader positions. So if you've been considering it, take a chance and DO IT!

Its the MOST fun ever, no you don't get paid but it looks great on a resume and you get some pretty sweet swag and perks during the week. You do a little bit of training and then the frosh come and its all worth it.

Its also important to remember that you don't have to be a team leader, you can also apply to be an event leader as well, where you run the events for the frosh instead of looking after a team.

Anyone who is interested can apply to NUSU until Feb 22nd and interviews are the 23-25th.

VOTTEE!!!

Hey guys,

I know I am a little slow on the updates this week, BUT you need to go to the school and vote for who you want to see running NUSU next year! There are a lot of really great and interesting platforms, and I won't tell you about them because I want you to decide for yourself. The polls close at 6:30 tonight so there's still time. Have a say in how your school is run and VOTE!

Until next time,
