ASA 2022: Meet Your Candidates!
Editor's Note: All the execs are holding elections at different times this year, love that for us! Stay tuned throughout other issues to see candidates for M@D and MUSA once nominations close.
With nominations completed for the 2022 ASA Executive, it is now time for the fun part, campaigning. This will look a little different from previous years due to this lockdown, but we have full hope that these nominees will procure your votes. Unlike previous years, you can vote as soon as campaigning starts. This means that if you know who you want to vote for you won’t have to worry about accidentally forgetting later. We have a very strong candidate line-up this year who will bring a variety of new experiences with a high level of passion. Read their bios down below. Next march, the ASA will also be holding a By-Election for the remaining roles. This gives everyone another opportunity to join the ASA Executive.

Marizaan Zwart– Candidate for Vice President and Welfare Officer
My name is Marizaan Zwart and I am applying for the ASA Vice President position and the ASA Welfare Officer for 2022 at the Albany campus. I am currently in my first year of my Bachelor of Business with double major in management and financial planning.
I would be honoured to be your Vice President or Welfare officer for 2022 and support you in making your experience at Massey memorable. Even though I have only been at Massey for a short while, it has been life changing for me. I want other students to have the same Massey experience that I have.
I want to work to support the students on the Albany campus and I want to show the students all the amazing opportunities that are on offer as a student at Massey.
Angelo Fray– Candidate for Cultural Officer and Welfare Officer
Hello! I’m Angelo Fray, and as you may or may not see, I’m not very photogenic. I’m campaigning for the ASA Cultural Officer position, as well as the ASA Welfare Officer position here at Massey Albany. Currently, I am amidst my first year here at Massey University, as a simple English Major.
Some might be thinking “This guy for cultural or welfare?” but hear me out. Culture has always been important to me, in both preservation and celebration. My family only really goes as far as my parents in ancestorship, and so the importance of multiculturalism has always been necessary to me. I care for welfare a lot as well. Having that access to multiple sources of help has been paramount to my life. So I hope to be in a position where I can make sure everyone has that access too.
I also just wanna do some good.
