The creation of the Public Relations Board is significant as it will replace the Campus Relations Committee, in hopes to create a more cohesive message for ASM in their recruitment and campus relations, according to the legislation. This includes their social media, which may include a TikTok account in the near future.

ASM Diverse Engagement Coordinator Ndemazea Fonkem announced the conclusion of the final round of interviews for University of Wisconsin chancellor. Fonkem said the final announcement for chancellor is expected to be made in the next seven days.

According to an ASM press release, other positions elected were Reez Bailey as ASM Vice Chair, AJ Butler as ASM Secretary, Steven Shi as Nominations Board Chair, Meghan Savaglia as Press Office Director, Amaya Boman as Anti-Violence Coordinator, Emmett Lockwood as Diverse Engagement Coordinator, Anjali Subramanian as Equity and Inclusion Committee Chair and MGR Govindarajan as Legislative Affairs Committee Chair.

The first session of ASM’s 29th student council will start April 24 at 5:30 p.m. where they will elect next year’s leadership.
