Meet our CRO!
The 2025 Chief Returning Officer
USSTM Elections are managed each year by a Chief Returning Officer (CRO), someone from outside of the FoS membership to impartially carry out elections. This year, Damian Gavrusenko has been chosen to execute this role. Damian is an undergraduate student from the faculty of engineering and was trained by the previous chairperson of USSTM. For election related inquiries, please email him at cro@usstm.ca.
Author's note: Damian is super cool!
