Student Elections
About Student Elections
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. Whether you run for an elected position, campaign for someone who does, or share your voice through your vote, the entire Campus-Wide Election process is a chance for all of us to exemplify our university tagline and show that what starts here changes the world.
