MITING DE AVANCE RECAP: COUNCIL ASPIRANTS TAKE THE FINAL STAGE
This academic year welcomed many changes to the students of SISC: a new environment, a new class setup, and come the morning of October 10, a new student government.
The SISC Student Council Miting de Avance 2022 held Thursday, October 7 at the Luxembourg Hall and via Zoom gave aspiring candidates the chance to restate what they have been campaigning for throughout the past week.
Here is a recap of this year’s final election campaign event.
