All in all, White has done a proficient job as VP Op-Fi. He paid very good attention to clubs and club issues, and successfully saw Clubs Chair Edward Tse impeached, only to take on the role himself. White also handled budgeting issues very well when they came up. Although presumably, with more responsible budgeting, these… Continue reading VP Op-FI:White’s still on the ball
