CURRENT EXECUTIVES
The executive that makes up ASUS’s council is made up of elected students from programs spanning the BA&Sc. Our job is to campaign for your interests, organize events, and maintain inter-faculty relations with arts and science. We are governed by a constitution and operate with several associations and committees under us. As we are your representatives please feel free to contact us at any time, visit our office, LEA 114B, (currently closed due to COVID-19) or sit in on our ArtSci Assembly for information on our activities, updates, or simply to get some advice.

Hey Artsci! My name is Kevin Franceschini and I'm serving as the ASUS president for the upcoming year. I am a U3 student from Comox Valley BC (also known as the mox) in the SSS program. In 6th grade I was voted most likely to get my own action figure, a dream which has sadly not yet come true.
