		<description>Congratulations, Alex. All the best in your challenges ahead as the new Council president. 

&lt;a href=&#039;#comment-391&#039; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Enigma&lt;/a&gt; - I noticed that, too at first sight. But let&#039;s not allow a petty reason shatter our confidence in the new president, for the road that lie ahead will present far more challenges for the president and his council to prove themselves.

Expectations from more than 1,500 Swinburnites are at an all-time high and a victory speech is only the beginning.

Godspeed, Alex.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;392&#039;,&#039;ember&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</description>

		<description>Nice. But it sounds eerily similar to a certain President Elect of the US&#039;s victory speech. If you must, cite it as a quote from Mr. Obama. if you even plagiarise your speech, you are making the people who voted for you lose confidence.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;391&#039;,&#039;Enigma&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</description>

		<description>congratulation for new elected team for the SSSC for our campus. I also congratulate for new leader, Mr.President, the honorable Alex and his fellow member of &#039;house of august&#039;. 
In my opinions, I hope the new elected team will move progressively and aggressively for the semesters ahead and truly acting as behalf for students of Swinburne as their channel of council. There are numerous hardship and difficulties that facing by the students of various courses and what I will expect is that the council will move forward, search in front and decide for all for the students such as to voice out what the students favorable and unfavorable about their disagreement including certain difficulties that affects their studies life in Australian-base campus. In line of this, the council will look at the higher degree of perceptions among the students in generally and of course none of us will able to meet those high demands among the students but at least let the students feel their right will have tongues to say.  
I also suggests for the council to prove the professionalism, integrity and uphold of the duty and it leadership, I hope there is an opponent side as a channel to be as &#039;watch-dog&#039; for the students main needs. This opposition side will voice up or against to the council if some issues arise among the students does not been viewed or neglected in which the council suppose to be care and concern it. 
Until here my views and says, hope it benefits all of us so that Swinburne will able to have a &#039;literacy&#039; graduates in our society, both domestic and international world.

		<description>I&#039;m sure you will. Just do a proper advance planning (in writing). In 2006 we used to call it &quot;Semester planner&quot;, once its prepared,  share it with students (or the club presidents &amp; SSU) and get their feedback so that you can do the necessary amendments. 

You can also do some Survey/Poll to get to know your service market better. We have a lot of students now and everyone has a lot of expectations from SSSC (which are basically different from one another). The survey will help you to artificially build up the different personas that we have in this school and  it can substantially help you in your planning.

Remember that you can&#039;t make everyone happy at the same time :) But if you can always try to listen to the vast majority and make them happy.....  Use the available mediums - Swintalk, SSSC forum, Blackboard and other offline mediums (Suggestion forms/Survey Forms etc). 

You can allocate some fund (to cater for 1-3 prizes) that you can give away to Random Survey responders. [ This will motivate students to come forward and participate ]

And taking in the other candidates, who fought real hard in this election might be a good idea as well. The purpose of all the candidates were the &#039;same&#039;  ---- to serve the students for their welfare and better quality of campus life. 

So who won/lost shouldn&#039;t matter if all of you were true to the cause. And it would be a good learning curve for the 4 members and they will be able to make a damn good team in 2010 with the vast experience that they will be able to gather in this one year.

Just my 2 cents :)  All the best.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;388&#039;,&#039;Saad Kamal&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</description>
