[Cusom28] Club Election Information

Fri Dec 13 15:15:24 EST 2024

Good afternoon!
The below email is sent on behalf of SGA Vice President, Jacob Ackerman.

Dear Class of 2028,
Congratulations on completing Block 2!  This is the first email of many laying out the process of elections for SGA, SOMA, and Class Leadership along with General Club Elections.
Attached to this email is a list of available positions as well as the election schedule.  Please pay attention to what week each position is up for election.  I will send out weekly specific emails as the time approaches.
Most positions require completion of an application on Presence.  Applications for Groups 1 and 2 are now officially open.  If you would like to work on those over break, you are welcome to.  However, they are not due until the listed date in January found later in this email.  Group 3 and 4 applications will open at the specified time listed later in this email.
If you have never used Presence, please look at the instructions below.

  1.  Go to: https://campbell.presence.io and at the top right, login using your Campbell credentials.
  2.  Once approved as a user, you will be able to click on "Organizations" on the top search bar.
  3.  In the search box that appears, type in the word "forms."  This should bring up the "Forms" organizational page.  Click on that page banner.
  4.  Once to the Forms page, click "Forms" from the selection menu at the center of the page.
  5.  Under "Forms," select "Election Group X."  X matches the group on the schedule.  Fill out the form for the position you are applying for.
a.       As listed in the Academic Bulletin (section 7.3.1), a student must have a cumulative GPA of ≥ 3.0 on a 4.0 scale as calculated at the end of each grading period, have no course failures, and cannot be on academic or on conduct probation to serve as a club or class officer (yellow and purple on spreadsheet<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yw0WBeBC4ZlSOMkdgRAd6ZfLAl1u4Ay5/view?usp=sharing>).  Any position in green does not require a 3.0 GPA.  If you have any questions regarding your GPA, please contact our Registrar's Office (naylor at campbell.edu<mailto:naylor at campbell.edu>).  Please note, our Registrar will not be able to respond to requests until January 2nd.
If you have any questions about navigating Presence, please reach out to Faith Huston at fhuston at campbell.edu<mailto:fhuston at campbell.edu>.
Additionally, many of the class leadership, SGA, and SOMA positions require a letter of intent and video recorded speech.  The speeches and letters will be submitted directly to me via email at j_ackerman0816 at email.campbell.edu<mailto:j_ackerman0816 at email.campbell.edu>.  Once you have been approved by the Registrar's Office, you will be able to submit these items.  In an effort to keep these submissions organized, I ask that the email subject line read in a format "Organization Position - Last Name, First Name" (i.e. SGA Vice President - Ackerman, Jacob).  This will help me tremendously with streamlining dissemination of your application materials.  You are also welcome to begin working on these items over winter break, but they are also not due until the listed date in January found further in this email.  If you have any questions, please reach out to Viraj Garg (v_garg1222 at email.campbell.edu<mailto:v_garg1222 at email.campbell.edu>) or myself via email.
A couple of notes on elections:

  1.  Please note that you are able to run for as many positions as you like.  However, there are no dual appointments.  This means if you win two or more elections, you will be assigned to the position in which you win the greatest percentage of votes.
  2.  If you are elected to an SGA executive position, SOMA executive position, or Class of 2028 President or Vice President position, you are not allowed to hold any other ELECTED positions at CUSOM (with the exception of CUCCC leadership board)! Please consider this before running for any of these positions.  Each student can only hold one club (orange on spreadsheet<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yw0WBeBC4ZlSOMkdgRAd6ZfLAl1u4Ay5/view?usp=sharing>) executive position (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer), however that same student is eligible to hold an interest group (blue on spreadsheet<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yw0WBeBC4ZlSOMkdgRAd6ZfLAl1u4Ay5/view?usp=sharing>) position as well.
