ASC Elections
When elections occur for both Supreme Court and Central Committee, ASC looks for students who are passionate about George Fox. We are looking for people who are passionate about Christ. Becoming a leader with the ASC requires passion and dedication.
Applications for Supreme Court will be available early on in the fall semester. Instructions and deadlines are within the applications. They will be available at the ASC Offices. Once applications are turned in there will be an election between the qualified candidates.
