Dear Freshmen Candidate:
Thank you for expressing your interest in the Student Government Association, this
organization is excited to have new enthusiastic and dedicated leaders join the team.
As in every democratic institution, the student government association is open to all
students regardless of age, sex, color or national origin. We value your participation, and
regardless of who emerges as a winner in this election there will be no victor, no
vanquished. Only the free will of students will prevail.
My team and I have put in place water tight plans to ensure a hitch free election season
and to serve this purpose, rules guiding these elections from filing to campaigning and
even to the declaration of results have been set out in this package. You are responsible
for the information therein and none of these rules shall be compromised in the course of
this election. Any candidate that is found violating any rule shall be appropriately
sanctioned; and the elections committee shall see that justice is not only done but it is
seen to have been done.
I personally commit myself to be fair, firm, and just. There will be no exceptions. Kindly
help us so that we can help you.
I wish you good luck in your endeavors; especially in this selection process. Once again
thank you for your interest in representing the freshmen class of 2019, as well as Student
