Operation Wish List

Do you ever find your self thinking
"You know what I wish we had at the U of L?"
Well now is your chance to be heard!

The Student Action Collective is creating a wish list of what students would really like to see happen at the University of Lethbridge. This wish list will be presented to the University Administration, and to the Students Union candidates.

Submit your wishes and be heard!
You can submit them one of two ways:
1) In person by dropping a piece of paper with your ID number and all your wishes in one of our ballot boxes on campus Feb 11-15
2) by email by sending them to ulethstudentactioncollective@gmail.com with “wish” in the subject line!

The deadline for wish submission is February 24th at Midnight

You should know:

-If you want to be contacted about campaigns for any of your wishes, please put your email address on your slip of paper, or in the body of your email.

-Your wishes will be recorded by ID number, so it is anonymous unless you decide to include your email address.

-You can submit more than one wish list (to add wishes you hadn’t thought of the first time), but any repeat wishes submitted with your ID number will be deleted.

-We will keep track of how many people wish for the same things, and those wishes will have the percentage of respondents who wished for it listed beside them in the final list – so don’t decide against submitting a wish for something because you figure someone else will!

Get your friends to send in their wish lists too! The more people submit their wishes, the more powerful our wish list will be!

If you'd like to help with this project, send us an email at ulethstudentactioncollective@gmail.com and we'll put you to work!
