York University’s Student Senator Caucus (SSC) is seeking nominations for a full-time graduate or professional student to join the Board of Governors, offering a unique opportunity to help shape university policy and decision-making.
The Student Senator Caucus (SSC) oversees nominations for student members for York University's Board of Governors and makes a recommendation to them based upon the election results. The election of student governors rotates annually between undergraduate and graduate/professional students.
The Board of Governors appoints its members. The Student Senator Caucus is responsible for nominating those members, and in practice has done so through an election. This year, the SSC has appointed Hale Mahon as chief returning officer and Ryan Whitson as deputy returning officer.
Following the election results, SSC will confirm the results and recommend to the Board that the candidate with the highest vote total be appointed to the Board.
This year SSC is accepting nominations for full-time graduate/professional student nominees. Nominations will be accepted starting Monday, Feb. 24 at 9 a.m. The deadline for nominations is Friday, March 7 at 9 a.m.
No late or incomplete forms will be accepted.
