President Candidates
Cooper Stone
Experience – I’ve served multiple terms on MathSoc Council, including a term as Speaker, and on the MathSoc Board of Directors, including two as Chair. I know how to get things done well and done correctly.
Club Support – I was a Stats Club exec for two terms, and have supported multiple other clubs in various functions. I know what support clubs need, and how to deliver it.
A Clear Future – If elected, I’ll continue working to make sure we’re set up for success, through redefined exec roles, working with other execs toward better booking and submission systems that are easier to use and for volunteers to manage, and advocacy for future space usage.
