Become a GSO Senator!

Elections for GSO Senators are currently underway. Find more information and details on how to become a GSO Senator and represent your department here.

In order for you to receive a voting card, all new and returning Senators must confirm their seats by doing the following:

  • If you are a new Senator, you can confirm your seat in one of two ways:

    1. Hold an election in your department through a meeting or by ballot.
    2. Petition to be a senator by collecting signatures of at least 30% of the students in your department or 50 students from your department, whichever is less.

    Details of these procedures can be found here (Article V, Section D).
    The Petition Form for new Senators can be found here.

  • If you are a returning Senator, you may follow any of the procedures above, or you may post a Call for Nominations for New Senators in your department. If there are no other interested candidates after making the open call advertising the GSO positions available in your department, please provide the GSO-Secretary with a copy of the 'Call for Senators' e-mail distributed to your department. You will then be appointed as a senator. Realize that being a senator last year DOES NOT automatically make you a senator this year as well.
