The Carleton University Students’ Association (CUSA) council is assembling for the 2025-2026 school year.
From Feb. 4 at 9 a.m. to Feb. 6 at 5 p.m., Carleton undergraduate students can vote for their faculty representatives using the ballot sent to their Carleton emails.
Representatives will work with the future CUSA president, who will be elected Feb. 6, on the council “where decisions about the association are made,” according to CUSA’s website.
Major councillor responsibilities include passing the CUSA budget and electing the association’s vice-presidents.
