Words from LUSA Also keep an eye out for information about the Joint Facility, cause you’ll have a chance to find out all the details and be involved in some of the decisions too. That’s all from me for my second to last column. Just make sure you vote in the General Election, and encourage your mates to run for LUSA, and then vote in that too.

Prez Sez Kia ora, we’re on the downward slope. Six more weeks of lectures and we’re free for the summer, before that, however there’s a lot going on: At our Special General Meeting you gave us permission to rename the LUSA Board the LUSA Executive and introduce a few changes to the membership.

I will miss the team at LUSA and all of you guys and your smiling faces, especially your Snapchats! In the last 2 years since I started at LUSA, we have made some huge changes, and I now feel we are better and stronger than ever! Not only in working more cohesively as a team but being more visible on campus and most importantly being more supportive and available to you here at Lincoln. I’d like to think that if you have any queiry, issue, questions, need, worry, idea... that we’d be the first you’d come to with it. Don’t you worry...I will be back as I love working for you guys. But in the meantime, Laura is here to take over and do her thang! And let me tell you, her ‘thang’ is goooood! She is passionate, creative and very talented. So make her feel welcome!
Flock’ on the LUSA website and we’ll get you amongst it all.
