Run for student body president
Students wishing to run for student body president must file online at ksu.edu/elections by 4 p.m. Jan. 27.
As the leaders of the executive branch in the Student Governing Association, the student body president and vice president represent and protect the rights and interests of the study body. The president and vice president serve on various committees at K-State, including the university president's Advisory Council, Faculty Senate, Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce and tuition and fee strategies committee, among others.
The primary election for student body president will be Feb. 14-15. Presidential candidates who move on to the general election must register their vice presidential candidate with the Office of Student Activities and Services by Feb. 22. The general election will be March 1-2, which will ultimately decide who will lead the executive branch for the next term.
Students can file through the Student Center on KSIS. Undergraduate candidates must be a full-time student with a minimum K-State GPA of 2.0 while graduate candidates must be enrolled in at least six hours and have a minimum K-State GPA of 3.0.
