Hi everyone,
I would like to announce the official start of the nomination period for the CL2028 Class Council elections.
Nominations begin today and will close April 22nd at 11:59pm.
The positions that are elected to the Med 2 class council are:
* Class President * Academic Representatives (2 positions) * Social Representatives (2 positions) * Sports Representatives (2 positions) * Wellness Representatives (2 positions)
Each position is self-nominated. To nominate yourself, fill out the linked Nomination Formhttps://forms.office.com/r/wS2Mc0iNjH with the position you are running for and a written platform of no more than 300 words (500-word max for those running for Class President). Please note: Each candidate must run independently -- no candidates may run as a group/slate during the election (including for positions that have multiple representatives).
You may also submit a video of a speech outlining your platform. Speeches must be no longer than 3 minutes (5 minutes for Class President nominees) and must not include any form of editing or visual aid. You can submit your video to me any way that works for you (Eg. OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.) and I will send out a link to the videos during the voting period. Speeches are due by the end of the nomination period.
The timeline for the elections will be as follows:
Today – April 22nd at 11:59pm: Nomination Period April 23rd – April 25th at 11:59pm: Election Period
