Executive Offices

ASWU’s executive branch consists of five officers:

  • ASWU President
  • ASWU Vice President
  • ASWU Treasurer
  • ASWU Director of Communication
  • ASWU Director of Administration

Each of these offices is filled through annual school-wide elections held in the spring, however, the Director of Communications and Director of Administration are not elected positions, they are instead positions students apply for and are chosen by the other executive officials. Executive officers serve a constituency of the entire student body for a term of two consecutive semesters.
