As most students were cramming for midterms or packing their bags for spring break, a few students were canvassing the Hilltop to get petitions signed with the hope of leading the student body next year.
On April 11, nine students submitted petitions to the Student Senate Election Subcommittee, officially declaring their candidacies for Bradley’s 2015-2016 student body offices.
All members of the current executive board of Student Senate are running once again, although not all for the same positions. This year’s election also brings external candidates to the ballot.
Unlike last year’s Student Body Officer race, no position will be uncontested.
Candidates will share their ideas and answer student questions at a debate on Wednesday, April 1. The town-hall style debate will begin at 6 p.m. in Marty Theater.
Students may cast their votes via online ballots or at voting centers across campus all day on April 6 and 7. Winners will be announced in the Student Center Atrium at 5 p.m. April 8.
