Student Senate starts election process

During its first meeting of the semester, Student Senate announced the beginning of its spring election cycle.  

Student Senate elections are being held earlier this year to give newly-elected senators and executive board members time to adjust to their new positions before the start of the fall semester, Chief Justice Nathan Cronin said during the Dec. 6 Student Senate meeting.

“It’s really hard to get what we do here going when we only have one meeting before summer break,” Cronin said. 

Anyone who will be returning to campus next semester is able to run for a position, except for a dorm senator position, or executive board position.  

Students looking to run must pick up a petition located in the Student Senate office and collect 10 signatures from the constituents of that position.  

Petitions are due to Cronin by Jan. 31.  The final ballot will be sent to students at the end of February.
