Student Senate looks to fill president
and student trustee seats for AY 2023-24

Student Senate announced at its 4 p.m. meeting Monday that they are in the process of finding new students to fill the president position, and electing a student trustee after both occupants chose to graduate in the spring.
Student Trustee Sullivan Jones, senior of Papillion, is currently accepting applications for the position due at noon Friday, Oct. 28.
Applications can be found in the student senate office.
Jones’ committee consists of four students Creighton Harrington, junior of Loup City, Zachary Kring, senior of North Platte, Kinsey Smith, senior of Windsor, Colorado, and Christopher Jennings, junior of O’Neill, who will help him decide two candidates to submit to the Student Senate for its overall ranking of the candidates. The rankings are ultimately sent to the governor for final approval.
“I believe the student trustee should be a student capable of fulfilling the duties of the position,” Jones stated in an email. “This requires a student willing to grow as a leader, to express student concerns to the Board of Trustees, and to relay pertinent board information back to CSC students.”
Olivia Bryant, senior of Anselmo, will also be leaving her position as president in the spring. The Senate is currently in the process of finding her replacement.
“I would suggest that anyone who runs for the presidency be ready to put portions of their personal life on hold during the term,” Bryant stated in an email. “From personal experience, the next president must be able to multitask, handle a variety of opinions, juggle student concerns, and ensure the Senate is functioning properly. The presidency can be overwhelming, but a strong support system and work ethic will go a long way.”
