AMS Elections 2007

One more thing

Don’t forget about the post below. We want your thoughts.

But there’s another important question, too. Which is how ought this blog to live on? I think there’s a demand for some AMS/student/UBC blog out there. Now Gina and I are graduating, but would be happy to help out anybody who wants to keep a blog going in some way year-round. And we chose an unfortunate URL for non-elections info. But if someone wants to use it for student info purposes…

It’s kinda silly that these things only operate during the Elections period. And I’d keep going, but I’m pretty much out of here. So any thoughts as to how we can leverage this capital into producing a longer-term way of engaging students?

Neal Yonson is a native of Ottawa. He graduated from the University of Toronto with an Hon.B.Sc. in 2006 and will be happy to tell you about how things seemed to work more smoothly there. After traveling across the country for free (protip: strategically arrange grad school visits where they reimburse travel) he came to UBC to start a Ph.D. in chemistry. He was quite happy to avoid student issues until he found out how much it cost to go to the BirdCoop. Since then, he has been involved with a variety of advocacy projects.

Thanks Tim and Gina. It’s been an absolute pleasure reading your articles. Having a student-issues blog year around is a good idea, as long as the AMS doesn’t run it, and opinionated people like yourselves don’t feel hampered from contributing their ideas, unnatenuated.

I’m going to be starting a radio program with my friend Nancy this summer. We were cosidering having a student politics corner. I would be happy to contribute that to any future blog.

A student-issues blog would be nice, with constant updates on AMS progress, as well as a monthly newprint-type circulation, if the popularity of the newspapers in the VFM were anything to judge by.
