President for a day? Think you've got what it takes to run YorkU?

So far this Month has been dedicated to self-improvement on my blog. Since it is the LAST week of January I thought I'd keep this spirit alive by mentioning the President for a Day contest. I know that it might not seem to be in the vein of self improvement BUTTT if you look at it as an opportunity to challenge yourself and try something new or even just to build your resume with colorful credentials then I think this totally works!

With a school the size of York it can be easy to make statements like "York Administration doesn't know what they're doing," or "York doesn't care about it's students," and if you really feel that way then the "President for a Day" contest might be for you.

How it works:
-You must a York Undergrad student
-You must submit a resume and 500-word written or video essay on the topic "What would be your top 3 priorities that would directly impact students if you were appointed of York University?"
-You HAVE to SUBMIT you package by 4pm EST on FEB 1st 2013 that's THIS FRIDAY!!!!

Wanna know more check out the link here.

What happens on the day:
-Swap day is Tuesday Feb 26th 2013.
-You will assume the role of York's president for the day. You get to attend all the meeting and events that President Shoukri has scheduled for that day.
-You'll get to have a catered lunch in the presidents boardroom with five of your friends.
-On Thursday Feb 27th 2013 you get to have breakfast with President Shoukri to discuss your top 3 priorities for students.
-You also get a $200.00 gift certificate to the York BookStore.

So does that sound like something you wanna get in on? I know that BookStore gift certificate sounds AMAZING!! Not to mention the free food and the chance to meet with Shoukri to discuss issues facing students. Hummm I think I might actually apply!
