The Student Associated Council (SAC) and the Student Trustee for the Los Rios Community College District Board of Trustees positions will be decided in the upcoming spring 2014 student elections by student majority vote via eServices April 8-9.
SAC and Student Trustee candidates have just nine day—April 1-9—to convince City College’s student body that they are the best candidates to vote for come election time April 8-9. According to City College’s current Senate Public Relations Secretary and 2014 Student Trustee candidate Gavin Felder, candidates should take campaigning seriously.
“This is considered a local government election,” said Felder.
Candidate forums during the campaign period will give students opportunity to learn who the candidates are, what each stands for, and why each feels they are the person best fit for their running position. Candidate forums take place April 1 and April 3 from noon to 12:50 p.m. in the Quad.
To remind and encourage students to vote, as well as for students to socialize with the candidates one-on-one, an election promotion barbeque is scheduled April 8 in the Quad from 11:30 a.m. until the food runs out. According to Senate Vice President Danny O’Neil, getting to know the candidates is important.
“It is a representative body so having the support of the students is key,” said O’Neil.
Student election voting rights are exclusive to City College students. To vote, simply log into eServices and click on the Vote! tab. Votes may be cast April 8-9 during eServices hours of 7 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
Complete spring 2014 student election information is available on City College’s Student Leadership and Development website.
