All students eligible to vote will be sent an individual email from our third party vendor, BigPulse. Included in this email will be a link to voting instructions, the candidates’ photos and their profiles.

To be eligible to vote, students must:

  • be at least 18 years of age
  • be currently enrolled
  • not be a staff member of the University working more than 0.5 FTE. These students fall into the staff category and can vote in the election of a staff member when that next occurs.

Good luck to all the nominees.
