After Unite Ryerson ran an unopposed student union for the past four years, Ryerson Students’ Union President Andrea Bartlett hopes to bring some change to the organization with her Transform Ryerson team.

The fourth-year business management student ran on a campaign that promised better communication between the student union, student groups and students; working with the City of Toronto to develop a campus safety plan; and implementing more student study space during exam periods.

According to the RSU 2014- 2015 budget, Bartlett is paid $28,650.
