Old: SGA Campaigning

April 1-5 was campaign week for Student Government Association elections this year. I've been involved in SGA since ole Freshman Council days and even though I wasn't on campus, I was thankfully still able to be involved! I ran for College of Business Administration Senator on the ballot of Engage, a campaign with one of my fellow CHP-ers and GLS-ers. Obviously the whole week is exciting and a little bit competitive.

Each year, a debate is held amongst all the executive candidates. This is the first year I basically knew almost all of them. I guess it's good to have such driven and motivated friends!! Rob and I are the only ones in London who are involved in SGA and we were both running for a CBA Senator position (there are 5 available spots). The debate was to be live-streamed at 1:00 am GMT, so we stayed up despite our early alarms to watch it.

Link from campus failed. Ended up monitoring all the live tweets, which may have been just as fun.

FRESHCO!

It was a wild crazy mess, and we got to see a recording the next day. All candidates did really well. I think I really just missed seeing everyone. The results of the election were announced at the end of the week, as well. The campaign Rob ran on (Baker-Atchley) won Presidential and Vice-Presidential positions, while my candidate for Student Services was elected into office. Both Rob and I won our Senate spots (after insisting all GLS London lovelies submit their votes, of course) so everything worked out!

Looks like another great year at UT! I would write a bit more about their policies, but we're watching Game of Thrones after work now....and....that's pretty important......

CHEERS!
