It&#8217;s absolutely true that the DSU&#8217;s &#8220;unsuccessful&#8221; candidates are anything but. For Thursday&#8217;s winners, your path for the year ahead is at least somewhat clear.

If you&#8217;re wondering what you can do to win a coveted ECVA, the best advice I can give you is to make a candidate video that contains something impressive or something annoying (though I will say the latter tends to get more attention &#8217;round these parts).
