SA
Elections - Nominations Forms due Tuesday, Mar. 9th
If
you are planning to run for a position in the Student Association Election
and be affiliated with a political party, according to election
rules,
your party must be a registered student organization with the Student
Organizations Advising and Resources (SOAR) office and have the classification "political." In
order for a new student organization to form by the IEC deadline,
the SOAR Office (Union 350) will need the paperwork for new
group by noon on Wednesday, March 3rd. You must have 4 enrolled
students sign the form and one of them must schedule an appointment
to meet with
the SOAR Director prior to 2 pm on Friday March 5th. The charter MUST
be passed at Sunday March 7th Senate meeting (your attendance is required)
for
your party to appear on the ballot. Failure to meet the above deadlines
will result in your organization not appearing on the ballot.
President/Vice President and Senate Nominations forms are due by 4:00
pm on
March 9th. Be sure to have enough EXTRA signatures (in the past many signatures turned in are often invalid or unreadable) attached to your
forms, because you will not be allowed to add additional signatures after
that deadline.
Note: The SOAR Office staff does not have any influence or authority
in the
election process, we merely collect and verify information for the Independent
Election Commission. All process questions or complaints should be addressed to the Election Commissioner, Levi Sosa at saelections@uwm.edu.

This
is part of a national campaign to fight hunger and homelessness. The
goal is to raise $7000 (before the 24th) and draw in 1,000 volunteers.
CVSL
is looking for team leaders, volunteers, and organizations to participate.
There will be a prize for the team leader's team that brings in the
most
money, as well as a treat for the team. A possibility for the team
leader's
prize is a PDA (a.k.a. Palm Pilot). All you would have to do is attempt
to
raise money and come out on the 24th for approximately 3 hours of service.
The goal for each person is to raise $30. T-Shirts are a possibility
to
those who reach the goal. E-Mail hcu_recruitment@uwm.edu to volunteer
or if
you have questions. |
