Applicants nervously confirmed their platforms for the upcoming general election for the student senate at the mandatory candidate’s meeting this morning.
Applications stating each candidate’s platform were due Thursday, March 12. While required to state their position prior, hopeful representatives had the opportunity to change their platforms during the meeting.
“Go for what you want to go for,” said Colette Brown, current student body president.
One week prior to the start of elections, write-in candidates will have the opportunity to submit a completed application indicating which position they hope to run for.

“Keep it clean, keep it nice, and keep it respectful.”
