WMS Exec Elections 2010/2011
Welcome to the elections to the Executive Committee of the WMS for 2010/11. We're the largest academic society the Students' Union has, handling whopping budgets and changing lives and careers every day. Any member can run for a position, and it's a real C.V. booster.
To stand you must still be an Undergraduate student here next year! You may stand for up to two positions, but if you win the 'higher' you will be excluded from the 'lower' one.
