Campus-Wide Election

During each spring semester, many different positions open up for campus leadership opportunities. Positions become available in the Graduate Student Assembly, Student Government, Texas Student Media, University Co-op, and the University Unions. These opportunities are fulfilled by students who file to become candidates and participate in the Campus-Wide Election.  The campus-wide election is an important opportunity for all students to make connections across campus, serve our fellow longhorns, and engage in productive dialog about the university we call home.
