Fall 2008 Election Packets

UPDATE: We have been notified about a typo that was made on the original election packets sent out via email. The due date of the packet was erroneously labeled as April 8th on the top of the packet. These packets can still be used and the problem has been corrected in the online version. Just note that the due date is as the original email correctly stated: 5pm Monday September 8.

The SGA elections will be held on Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Class officers, SGA class senators and SGA budget committee members will be elected by each class. Elections are held online and an email ballot will be sent to you on the day of the elections.

The Fall 2008 election packet can be downloaded by clicking here. Anyone running for class officer or budget committee member will need 75 signatures and anyone running for class senator position will need 25 signatures. Election packets and the signatures must be turned into Mather Front Desk by 5:00pm on Monday, September 8, 2008.

The SGA is holding two Election Info Sessions:
Monday, September 1 @ 1:00 pm in Gallows Hill
Sunday, September 7 @ 5:00 pm in Hamlin Hall

Note: The full SGA senate will meet every Sunday at 7pm. Senators must be available for meetings at this time.

Please contact us with any questions that you may have.

Good Luck!

New 24-Hour Library Space

The SGA is happy to inform you that the 24-hour areas of the library are being expanded. In fact, construction is currently underway and the new space is expected to open in the next few weeks.

The new space will be in addition to the original space and it includes the Michigami Meeting Room and the areas on the main floor where the reference desk and reference materials were located. It will also include the large area to the right of that main room (see attached map). The new area is carpeted and will have more tables, more computers, and some soft seating.

For the first couple weeks of classes we may have to put up with a little construction. But if you like what you see, tell the library staff because they are the ones who made this happen so quickly. If you have any questions or concerns please let us know.

Update on New Shuttle System

It has come to my attention that the two new buses that we have special ordered for our new shuttle system will not arrive in time for the start of school. The good news is that we expect them to be delivered sometime during the first two weeks of classes. When I get a firm start date for the shuttle system I will let you know.
