After multiple weeks of hard campaigning, the spring election candidates hit the home stretch for election day. With flyers, stickers and lots of treats being handed out across campus, the votes have finally been tallied together.

In the week following the election, the new SGA executive officers will be holding the interviews to finalize who will serve in the roles of Director of Publicity and Chief Justice. These interviews will take place on Wednesday, March 15. Once the final two positions have been determined, a swearing-in ceremony will take place in April.
