NSTU 1st round election results for president here
The NSTU Presidential Elections will take place on Wed May 23rd. Often we do not get to know much about the candidates. We have provided an opportunity to hear them in action. These next few years are going to be tough and we want all of our members to feel confident the person they vote in was someone they had information on. Here is your chance to see and hear the candidates, their speeches and Q and A. Click on the link below. ( It is youtube so you need to have a code at school or watch it at home. Either way , WATCH IT!!)
