ELECTION RESULTS!

Posted on by

Hello, friends!


Without further ado, we present your newly-elected College Council and Honor and Discipline Committee members.

1,128 (52.4%) Williams students voted in this election, a 22% increase from last year’s Fall turnout. Thank you for participating, and please know that CC will continue working hard to make your college experience better. You do not need to be a member of College Council to initiate a campus improvement project. We will gladly help and/or serve as a resource to you in your endeavors.

College Council and Honor and Discipline Committee are excellent ways to get involved, but there are many more opportunities to be the change you wish to see. Click here for a list of student groups at Williams.

THANK YOU for passing the proposed amendments to the College Council constitution! With a total of 922 students voting in the referendum (94.79% voting ‘Yes,’ 3.04% voting ‘No,’ and 2.17% choosing to abstain), the constitution put forth to the student body (click here to read it) for a vote on September 5th was officially ratified.

We are proud to announce these changes, and excited about what they mean for student government and advocacy at Williams.

If you are considering running for a position on College Council, please come by Henze Lounge (upstairs in Paresky, by the non-functional fire place) THIS SUNDAY, 9/16, between 4 and 6pm with questions and/or to think through your decision or approach with current members of CC. We would LOVE to talk about it with you! #CCnerds

Self-nominations are due by 11:59pm to [email protected]. They should be between 300-500 words and include your name, the position for which you are running, relevant experience, and a brief explanation of why you are the best candidate for the position/what you hope to achieve on CC.

WHY SHOULD I RUN FOR COLLEGE COUNCIL?

Students at Williams have a voice. The student body has a rich legacy of engagement and service. One of the most consistent and visible vehicles for effecting positive change on campus is College Council. Members of CC better this community by communicating with their peers about various College issues, initiating or supporting campus improvement projects, representing the needs and desires of Williams students to the administration, and taking a critical look at the campus with an eye toward setting and achieving realistic goals for its advancement.
