On September 11th and 12th, SGA held elections for its new Senate members. Students voted at the Campus Center, Sutton Apartments, and the Cornell Social Sciences building at various times throughout those two days. Students were required to show their R-card and were only allowed to vote for the candidates in their residential district.
McKean, Elizabeth, Ward, Holt, Rex Beach, Sutton, Pinehurst, Lyman, Corrin, Fox, Strong, Cross, Mayflower, Pugsley, Gale, Hooker, Rollins and Off Campus make up the different residential districts.
Senate seats are allocated by residential district. The number of seats allowed for each residential district depends on the number of students living in each district. There are four Off-Campus seats available. Sutton Apartments has three seats. McKean, Elizabeth, and Ward each have two seats. All the other smaller on-campus housing, including all the Greek houses, has one seat.
The SGA is composed of the Executive Board and the Student Senate. The following are the ten members of the Executive Board: Cat McConnell (President), Lara Bueso (Vice President), David Remington (Comptroller), Joey Betts (Chief of Staff), Austin Connors (Council of Leaders President / Fox Funds Chair), Sheena Walia (Cultural Action Committee Chair), Steve Miller (College Governance Committees Chair), Marissa Germain (Director of Collegiate Relations), Elise Letanosky (Public Relations Chair), and Ashley Coleman (Community Engagement Chair). Besides the Executive Board there are 26 representatives that make up the Senate.
Candidates must meet three qualifications in order to run for the Senate. The candidates must live in the residential district in which they wish to represent for the entire school year, not just the fall semester. Students who move residences lose their position in the Senate. Senators must also keep a minimum GPA of 2.33. The last qualification is that senators must be in Good Standing with the Dean of Student Affairs.
