A Partnership with Southeast Missouri State University and Rust Communications • To advertise, call 573-388-2741
The Southeast Missouri State University Student Government Association elections will be available through the Southeast portal April 2 -3 to elect the SGA executive board and the student senators. There are three students running for the executive board unopposed and 49 students running for senate positions in their various colleges. Each college can elect five senators while the schools can only elect three. The School of Visual
and Performing Arts and the School of University Studies do not have enough candidates for a full ballot, so the students are running uncontested. Senators represent all of the students in their college. The senators vote on and discuss different issues within their weekly SGA meetings that impact students. Senators sit on a number of committees within student government and the university. These selected students are responsible for deciding the distribution of SGA’s operating budget, which comes from Southeast students’ fees. All the candidates provided their statement of candidacy when submitting their application, which is the information listed below.

The Southeast Missouri State University Student Government Association elections will be available through the Southeast portal April 2 -3 to elect the SGA executive board and the student senators. There are three students running for the executive board unopposed and 49 students running for senate positions in their various colleges. Each college can elect five senators while the schools can only elect three. The School of Visual
and Performing Arts and the School of University Studies do not have enough candidates for a full ballot, so the students are running uncontested. Senators represent all of the students in their college. The senators vote on and discuss different issues within their weekly SGA meetings that impact students. Senators sit on a number of committees within student government and the university. These selected students are responsible for deciding the distribution of SGA’s operating budget, which comes from Southeast students’ fees. All the candidates provided their statement of candidacy when submitting their application, which is the information listed below.
