Senate election results released

The student body voted in eight new members during the senate elections that took place 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday.

Nathan Pindell, Nisha Durand, and Sammi Shaykett were elected to the senate’s constitutional court.

Jocelyn Utecht was elected to the School of B.E.A.M.S.S.

Sarah Kingsbury and Elizabeth Rice were elected to the School of E.H.P.C.P.S.W.

Morgan Nelson was elected to the position of Student Association president, and James Bahensky was voted in as vice president of the Student Association.

Senate Chief Justice Riley Machal said that Senate is currently running on bare bones.

“I’d like to encourage anyone who can to apply,” Machal said. “Senate needs to have equal representation,” she said, noting the uneven distribution of senators among the three schools.

Students and RSVP, a volunteer organization composed of senior citizens aged 55 and up, manned the voting booths in the Student Center.

One   volunteer, who wished to remain anonymous, said there had been only about 20 voters in the almost two hours the individual had been working at the booths.

Dr. Matthew Brust, assistant professor of Physical and Life Sciences, is responsible for counting the ballots, and will run the scantrons through a reader with technology housed in the Burkhiser Technology Complex.
