ksjc elections 2023
Dear Students, During the past weeks we have worked diligently and consistently in order to hear from you, the Junior College students, in order to assemble a diverse team which includes students from various backgrounds that are ready to revitalise the Council. The slogan that we have chosen for this year is WE CAN. For a more inclusive council, for a more energetic and present council, for a more ambitious and reliable council, together we can. Lastly, we believe that KSJC needs to be the leading voice of all students when it comes to current affairs that directly impact our future. We look forward to share our vision with you and can’t wait to hear your feedback.
