Students elect new SGA class councils
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 covers the 2020–21 SGA class-council elections, voter turnout and the elected students’ plans.
- The News-Letter reported that turnout fell from 1,508 to 1,173 votes, a 22 percent decrease, while CSE Chair Bahira Ahmed said it was unclear whether the pandemic caused the decline because turnout was higher than in 2018.
- The article reported that William Cho became senior class president with 196 votes, Nathan Mudrak became junior class president with 311 votes, and Anthony Singleton became sophomore class president with 209 votes.
- The paper reported that the next senior, junior and sophomore councils would include six members each, with 239, 535 and 399 students voting in those elections, respectively.
- The reporter writes that Cho planned to improve access to SGA and SLI funding information, while Singleton and Mudrak described plans for student communication, virtual events and contingency planning.
- The article adds that Ahmed said the incoming senators had shown passion and would bring “fresh, new ideas” after she graduated.
