Are you thinking about joining Student Government? Great! There are lots of opportunities for you to get involved in any and every facet of GMU’s Student Government.
NOTE: For more information about the current Spring Election for Senate and President/Vice President for the 2009-2010 school year, please visit the Elections page.
Every year, there are 2 elections for positions in Student Government. The annual Spring Election is for all students seeking to become a Student Senator or President/Vice President. The annual Fall Election is for freshmen and transfer students seeking to become a Student Senator (10 spots are reserved exclusively for this election).
