On March 7, 2025, the University of New Brunswick Student Union announced the results of their General Election, as well as changes to its leadership structure.<\/p>\n

Three of the vice president positions in the election differ significantly from their current iteration, both in name and responsibilities:<\/p>\n

The Vice President Events and Services, who oversaw both administrative services (like the UNBSU foodbank) and campus events (like concerts), is now split into two separate positions, one handling services and the other handling events. The Vice President Communications, who handled media communications and marketing, was removed from the executive and replaced by a non-VP Director of Communications.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Vice President Academic was renamed Vice President Policy and Relations to better reflect the scope of their work, although that position\u2019s responsibilities and mandate remained the same.<\/p>\n

These changes were the result of several months of effort from the UNBSU executives (the VPs and President), who hope that this new structure will more evenly distribute workload and increase the UNBSU\u2019s efficiency.<\/p>\n
