While, everyone is caught up in the media hype of who is running for the 2008 U.S Presidential Elections, Kean has its own production brewing as we come closer to the Student Organization of Kean, Inc. elections. This is the time when students interested in running for student government campaign for the positions available. On April 10th and 11th, you will get your chance to vote for the members of your full-time undergraduate student government! Whether or not, you are a part of Student Org., the anticipation of finding out and choosing who will be representing you along with the rest of the University is exciting. Student Org. representatives are the voice of the student body and each year those who feel they have what it takes to be that voice spend time trying to convince the rest of the students at Kean they are the right ones for the job.
Student Org. elections will be held on April 10th and 11th and for the first time students can vote from the comfort of their own homes, residence halls or computer lab due to the elections being offered online. Hopefully those who think they have what it takes to run for a position have already started and completed their applications because they are due tomorrow, March 27th in the Student Org. office, University Center, Room 321 by 2:00PM!
For the upcoming 2007-2008 academic year the positions available are President, VP of Funded Groups, VP of Committees, VP of Student Affairs, Assistant Treasurer, Assistant Secretary, and Director of Public Relations. There are also positions available at the class level for class president and vice president, treasurer, secretary and nine representatives for each class.
Being a member of Student Org. has a certain level of dedication because as any members will tell you, there are requirements and obligations that everyone is responsible for, especially those serving on the Executive Board. Students have to be a matriculated undergraduate student with at least a 2.5 G.P.A, and depending on which position you aspire towards, you may need a certain number of credits completed. All of the basic requirements and rules of the election are explained in the application, which can be found on www.studentorg-ku.org or obtained from the Student Org. office.
