Freshmen Elect Student Association Representatives

Freshmen elected their student association leaders yesterday. Winners were elected last night, ending a week of active campaigning.

Colin Schmitt, a politics major, garnered 204 votes, the most of any race, taking one of the seven delegate positions on the Student Association General Assembly.

“I now look forward to working with the six other freshmen elected, as well as the entire SAGA,” said Schmitt in an early-morning message to his supporters.

In addition to filling positions on SAGA, freshmen chose Christopher Prudente to represent them on the Student Fee Allocation Board.

Tower writer Katrina Avila was also elected to be the committee chairman for the class of 2012 on the Program Board.

The newly elected freshmen will join the rest of SAGA, SFAB and Program Board next weekend on a leadership retreat to Camp Letts in Maryland.

“They’re the future,” said Afifeh Alaween, the speaker of the SAGA.” We want to make sure that they’re ready for it.”

The senior representatives on SAGA have also chosen a new student to fill a vacancy that was created over the summer, when Delegate Chad Longell took a leave of absence from the University to enlist full-time with the Army.

The selected candidate has been notified, and will be announced next week.

The sophomore and junior members of SAGA are currently seeking to fill three other vacancies, and will announce their decisions next week as well.

Freshmen Adam Davis, Dan Essig, Anne Roth, Felicia Charles, John Eby and Thomas Cunningham also won positions on SAGA.
