Students will choose their representatives for Student Government Association by casting their ballots for candidates they deem to be indicative of their own personal beliefs regarding the betterment of the campus on April 11 and 12.
Two candidates representing two newly formed parties will face off for SGA president. Former Sen. Erin Chambers, who was unsuccessful in last years' campaign against James Orr, opposes Becky Dykes, who currently serves as the Executive Assistant to the Executive Council.
Chambers heads the Student Voice Party and Dykes represents the YOUTM Party.
Student relations, creation of "more appointed student positions to support diversity" in SGA and the creation of a "Student Advisory Panel for UT System President" are the three topics of improvement discussed within the Student Voice platform.
The improvement of "all aspects of student life," making SGA "run more smoothly and more adequately meet the demands of the student body," and continue the Executive Council's "strong presence on campus" are the elements of the YOUTM platform.
Chambers said in her provided biography, required by SGA, that "The most important asset we have as students is our voice and we can use it to achieve change." She served as a Senator for the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, a member of the Freshmen Council and served on an unspecified committee with Chancellor Dunagan.
In Dyke's biography, she states that she has been actively involved with SGA as she served as a Justice on the Student Court and as an Executive Assistant to the Executive Council. She feels this experience with SGA has made her "capable of leading the Student Government Association in the upcoming year."
Grayson Uldrich is running as the unopposed Vice President candidate from the YOUTM Platform. Uldrich's SGA career began on the Freshman Council as the Chairman of the Procedures Committee. This year, Uldrich served as a Senator for the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences as well as a member of the Procedures Committee, according to his biography.
