Elections

Student government Association

Your voice matters.

Change is made through participation, and you can get involved in your campus by having a voice in who will represent you—and the university—by voting. Want to be even more involved? Become a candidate yourself. 

If you choose to run for Student Government Association office, you may campaign prior to the election (the third week of April) and through the end of the election week, which is concurrent with Spring Fling. You may use flyers, social media posts, handbills, and other forms of communication to introduce yourself and your platform. 

Upon the conclusion of election week, we tally the student-body votes and announce the winners on the following Monday. For more information about elections, contact the student government coordinator.
