Student Senate elections are coming up, and election petitions are available now at the Involvement Center desk at the University Center. Petitions are due at 6 p.m. Friday, March 2 at the Involvement Center desk.
Becoming a student senator is greatly beneficial, for you will have the ability to serve your fellow students while learning about UW-River Falls and politics. You will also play a key role in the decision- making process here at UWRF, and will have some excellent attributions to add to your resume.
Senate positions that are currently available include: president, vice president, non-traditional student, at-large senator (eight positions available), senator representing CAS, senator representing CAFES, senator representing CBE, and a senator representing CEPS.
The primary elections are held Monday, March 26 if more than three candidates run for president or vice president. General election online polls open at 8 a.m. Monday, April 2 and close at 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 3.
The elections in the past have not been very competitive, for not many students opt to run for Student Senate. The Student Voice encourages students to get involved.
