SGA releases freshman class election results
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports the 2017 freshman SGA election results and the candidates’ stated priorities.
- The News-Letter reported that Sam Schatmeyer became Freshman Class President and Evan Mays, Matt Taj, Coco Cai, Aspen Williams, Lauren Paulet and Nico Daurio became senators; turnout was 59 percent, up from 57 percent for the previous class.
- The paper reported that Schatmeyer ran to give back to the Hopkins community, while his CFI ticket planned to support a positive, diverse campus atmosphere through club funding and events.
- The article says Paulet wanted to improve student policy and diversity, Daurio planned to focus on environmental sustainability, and Mays planned bonding activities to help freshmen learn from one another.
- The reporter writes that Taj focused on student-faculty interaction, Cai on school spirit and mental health, and Williams on stronger connections with the Baltimore community.
- The paper reported that candidates had to collect 200 freshman signatures; Taj found the process easy, while Paulet said the forms made individual student discussions harder, and Schatmeyer thanked the class for electing him.
