Associated Students of Madison Student Services Finance Committee Chair Kurt Gosselin announced his resignation at midnight Thursday morning.

According to an ASM press release, Gosselin stepped down in order to focus on academic commitments.

“Although I will no longer be chairing the committee, I have the utmost faith that budding leadership will continue to provide high quality services to students on the Madison campus,” Gosselin said in the release.

SSFC Vice Chair Carl Fergus will take over Gosselin’s responsibilities and preside over the committee.

“It is unfortunate that the resignation had to occur at this point in the year, but we are confident that SSFC will remain in good hands for the remainder of the session,” said ASM Vice Chair Hannah Karns.
