Eight students have been elected to serve as senator-at-large for Undergraduate Student Government (SG) during the 2021-22 academic year.Â
There were a total of 13 candidates who ran for the position. Of those, 11 were candidates of color and 6 were women-identifying candidates, said Election Facilitation Committee Chair (EFC) Sarvani Vemuri during a Friday meeting.Â
Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, elections and campaigning for SG were done entirely online.
âGoing into this election season we knew that we would have to get creative with how we interacted with the student body,â she said. âOur teams and our candidates have proved that literally, nothing can stand in their way, not even a global pandemic.âÂ
