Rackham Student Government
Divisional Representatives are elected for one-year terms starting in both the
Fall (April election) and Winter (November election) semesters.
The positions of President,
Vice-President, or Co-Presidents are filled during the April elections.
The position of Treasurer is
appointed by current RSG representatives (all non-officers). The Treasurer must
be an active, elected representative.
The position of Archivist is
a paid position, appointed by the president or co-presidents.
RSG sends out campus-wide
emails prior to each semester election in order to notify all interested,
pro-active graduate students of their opportunity to run for a representative
seat (or Presidential seat during the April elections). While a presidential
candidate does not have to be a current or past RSG member, it is strongly
suggested for more serious candidates.
Interested candidates should
respond to the RSG Election Director's email stating their desire to run for an
office, at which time they write their election platform. This platform is
published on the web before the campus-wide election held 1-2 weeks later. The
student receiving the most votes in their division receives the open seat. If
multiple seats are open, the candidate with the second highest number of votes
receives the second seat, and so forth.
What Is involved in being a
Representative?
Elected representatives are
expected to join at least one RSG sub-committee in order to actively take part
in graduate student life at our University. These sub-committees report back to
the main RSG body for votes and support. See the committee section for a list of
active committees and their current make-up. Any RSG elected representative can
create and staff a new sub-committee as they see fit.
Can I become involved without
running for office?
Yes. RSG Sub-committees,
with the exception of the budgetary committee, may be staffed, and even chaired,
by non-RSG members. |
