SGA Candidates preparing for election campaigns

Campaigning will occurs during March 29 through April 25 for the Austin Community College's Student Government Association election. The SGA has just accepted the necessary election packages for students wanting to run for office with SGA. Now those candidates will conduct interviews with an SGA officer. After these interviews are conducted and the Office of Student Life checks their GPAs to ensure they meet the required 2.5 GPA and are in good standing prior to the election, the SGA advisor and Student Life director will approve candidates to participate in the rest of the election process.

Opening SGA positions will include: President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Director of Communications, and Parliamentarian. There will also two Senators voted from each campus as well as one Senator from the following constituencies: Distance Learning Students, Students with Disabilities, International Students, Non-Tradional Students, Minority Students and Veteran Students. After the Senators have been elected, they will then elect a Senate Chair. Becoming a SGA officer will give students a greater opportunity to affect change and make things happen at ACC.
