SGA
elections nearing

Campaigning slated to begin Sept. 5

North Lake College's Student Government Association was instituted over 17 years ago in order to make a difference and build a stronger educational institution. The purpose and mission of the organization is to represent, to communicate with, act upon, and ensure student rights and needs, concerns, and social well-being to the administration of North Lake College.

Student body officers are elected by the entire student body at the beginning of each fall semester, with terms running through August of the following year until new elections are held. Upon acceptance into the college, every student automatically becomes a member of the Student Government Association. All students are encouraged to become active members and Student Body officers, so that the Association is a true representative body of student thought and opinion, voicing the needs and concerns of our student body.

All potential candidates are required to submit a completed Application for Student Government form to the Student Programs and Resources Office, A-223, by Friday, September 1st at 4:30 p.m.. Applications are available in the S.P.A.R. Office. Officer Election Campaign Week will be held Tuesday, September 5 through Thursday, September 14. Online voting for all candidates will be held Friday and Saturday, September 15 and 16. All students may log on under eConnect in order to submit their vote.

All Student Body officer positions are to be obtained by a sponsored campaign and registered election. The S.P.A.R. office has campaign guidelines available. Adherence to these guidelines will demonstrate the leadership skills and integrity of each candidate. If you are interested, contact S.P.A.R.
