We are proud to announce that 1368 people voted in the Fall Senate elections on November 5th and 6th. Last year, only 473 students voted in the midterm elections. This represents a 189% increase in voter turnout.

On behalf of Student Union and the Recruitment & Retention Committee, I want to thank everyone who voted in the elections. This was our most successful midterm election in a long time. We could not have done it without the students.

This past Wednesday, Senate held internal elections for its leadership team. Here are the results:

Speaker of the Seante
Jordan Aibel (senate@su.wustl.edu)
