The official Fall 2013 GSA Executive Elections application form is now available (see link below). Download, fill out, and submit the form to either [email protected] or drop it off in person to the GSA office. The deadline for registration is Sunday, November 24th at 6pm. Late submissions will not be accepted.
The rules are:
1) All currently-enrolled fulltime M.A. GSIS students who will continue to be fulltime students next semester (taking 9+ credits) are eligible to run, including students currently completing their first semesters, students who are not currently on GSA, and even students who have never attended a school function.
2) PhD students, exchange students, students taking a leave of absence, and non-degree students are not eligible to run.
3) You must run as a team of no more or no less than 3 team members. Individual candidacies are prohibited.
4) You may not be part of more than one team.
5) There is no limit to the total number of teams that can run in the elections.
6) The official GSA Election Bylaws will be strictly adhered to at all times during the campaign period and interpretation of the bylaws is solely at the discretion of the election arbitrator. No exceptions.
7) Please be aware that being a GSA Executive does require a time of commitment of 20 or more hours per week, and may require visits to off-campus venues, meetings with GSA leaders from other schools, frequent meetings with the dean of GSIS and other school officials, as well as other responsibilities. If you are unable to fulfill these obligations to the best of your abilities on a regular basis, we kindly request that you refrain from participation.
The GSA president will receive a full-ride scholarship next semester. Both vice presidents will get half tuition waivers.
The official announcement of candidate teams will be made on Monday, November 25th.
If you have any questions about the process or about being a GSA executive, feel free to pop into the GSA office anytime and ask away.
Good luck to everyone!
