SGA election season kicks off with election forum
Students interested in running for a position in the Student Government Association are required to come to a general assembly on Monday, Feb. 16. Packets with instructions for how to run will be available at the meeting at 8 p.m. in Anspach Hall 162.
Any individual, regardless if they are a member of SGA, can run for an elected position.
Elections officer Josh Palmer, and SGA adviser Shaun Holtgreive, will be going over the details of the packet this coming weekend.
"Monday's election forum will provide CMU students the opportunity to learn more about the positions available during the election," Palmer said. "The president, vice president, treasurer, and senate leader will speak to the general assembly about the details of their positions so students gain a new idea of their role and responsibilities. "
Included in the packet will be a letter from elections director, elections committee operating protocol, the 2015 election schedule and several other documents used to guide students through the election process.
This year's election process will account for the senator bylaw change, which was enacted at last Monday's SGA meeting.
"Per the bylaw changes on Monday, senators who run will not run for a specific college," Palmer said. "They will run as a general senator and be assigned a college by the senate leader after he/she is appointed."
Applications are due at noon on Feb. 27. Forms must be submitted to the SGA elections director mailbox in the Student Involvement Center in the Bovee University Center 104G.
