Here is my photo essay. I chose to cover the USG Student Elections because it is a huge ordeal on campus spanning about a month in total, from the nomination of candidates to elections. Many students have strong feelings towards the elections (both positive and negative) as well as shocking indifference. I enjoyed talking to both students and candidates to get their perspectives.
The results of this years election were:
22% of the student body voted (up 2% from the previous year).
President: Cole Lee (Total Votes 1694 | 52%) – Elizabeth Osei (Total Votes 1551 | 48%)
EVP: Drazen Bacarra (Total Votes 1791 | 56%) – Mark Wu (Total Votes 1418 | 44%)
Treasurer: Run Off Rebecca Anderson (Total Votes 1310 | 37%) – Hikari Oshiro (Total Votes 1124 | 32%) – Jin Lin (Total Votes 1104 | 31%) (Note: In the Run Offs, Hikari Oshiro won with 52% of the vote).
VP of Communications: Max Shaps (Total Votes 1686 | 55%) – Amanda Baron (Total Votes 1399 | 45%)
