Associated Student Body officers and all Class Council officers are inducted on the same day, at the same ceremony.” Schubert also explains the importance of induction, “Induction is important as it officially, and publicly, signifies the segue from the outgoing to the incoming officer teams. This marks the handing over of duties from one set of elected officials to the next team.” Those who are involved in the induction ceremony include the outgoing Associated Student Body, who plan the event, the incoming and outgoing council members, alongside their friends and family, and Schubert herself, who oversees the planning ideas and financial decisions.

Therefore, fundraising is what I'll be doing to provide great events in the future.”
