Student Elections Are Coming: Get Involved!*
As we did so successfully the last three years, we will once again use web-based voting for undergraduate student elections this spring.
This technology, used by colleges and universities throughout the country, enables you to vote while at school, work or home. In addition to a computer you may have at home or work, there are many throughout campus from which you can also vote. By bringing the "polls" to you, making voting more convenient, we hope to see students taking part in the election process in even greater numbers. As you may know, when we used Web-based voting, participation increased significantly. In order to ensure the integrity of the election process, we have hired an outside company experienced with Web-based campus elections, and unaffiliated with Hunter College, to handle all aspects of the voting. Your Hunter email, which must be set up per the instructions below, will not be used by this company for any purpose other than this election.
When to Vote
Voting is scheduled to take place from Monday, April 23 (12:01 am) - Friday, April 27 (11:59 pm).
How to Vote
In order to vote on the web, you must set up your Hunter e-mail account. Please tell your friends that if they have not yet set up their Hunter e-mail, they should do so right away by going to the SNET Helpdesk in Room 109 North.
During the week of April 16, the company administering the election will send you an e-mail with a voter registration code, which you will need in order to vote. The voter registration code, along with instructions, will allow you to view and submit your ballot on the company's special Hunter elections website when the "polls" open on April 23. Election results will be posted on the election site immediately after the polls close. (Note: If others are able to access your e-mails, or if you think they have the ability to do so, you should make the necessary adjustments immediately).
What Positions Are on the Ballot
You will have the opportunity to vote, via the web, for the following 36 positions:
A) Seven Undergraduate Student Government Executive Officers:
President
Vice President
Finance Commissioner
Evening Affairs Commissioner
External Affairs/Public Relations Commissioner
Student Welfare/Academic Affairs Commissioner
Cultural Affairs/Student Activities Commissioner
(Note: Brookdale Commissioner will only be voted on by residents of the Brookdale Residence Hall. This voting will take place at the residence hall on Friday, April 27, 2007 from 9:30 am - 10:00 pm. Hunter ID will be required).
B) Fourteen Undergraduate Student Government Senators, including two freshmen, four sophomores, four juniors and four seniors.
C) College Association (4 positions available)
D) Auxiliary Enterprise Board (5 positions available)
E) Faculty Student Disciplinary Committee (6 positions available)
(Please check below to view the responsibilities of the aforementioned positions and an overview of the funds for which the student government is responsible. This information is also currently posted in the glass-enclosed "Elections" bulletin board on three West.)
Learn About the Candidates
The following information and events will assist you in selecting your candidates:
* Each candidate was asked to submit a 100 word campaign statement which will be posted on the election website, which you will be able to access the week of and the week prior to the election.
* All candidates were asked to participate in a "Candidate's Forum/Debate" to introduce themselves and their platform to the electorate. This will be held on Wednesday, April 18, at 1:00 pm in Room 714 West.
* By Tuesday, April 17, the list of candidates and their party affiliation, if any, will be posted in the glass-enclosed "Elections" bulletin board on Three West. This list will also be on this elections site the week of and the week prior to the election.
If you have any questions about student elections or web-based voting, please contact Dean Michael Escott in the Office of Student Services, Room 1103 East.

Student Leadership Colloquium: “Leadership Values Auction”
This is the second of four presentations this semester. Students must attend all four presentations to receive the Certificate of Participation.
Presenter:Mr. Jerrell Robinson and Ms. Julie Agosto are the Assistant Director and Coordinator of Student Activities & Leadership Development, respectively, at Hunter College. Jerrell has both his B.A. in Sociology and M.S. in Counseling from SUNY Oswego, and has worked in higher education for over ten years. Julie received her B.F.A. in Public Relations from Long Island University, C.W. Post Campus and has worked in the areas of publicity, development, and higher education.
The Leadership Values Auction helps evaluate how people prioritize different leadership qualities in their peers. Our regard for one value over the other can alter our perception of person’s effectiveness as a leader.
In order to facilitate the process of prioritization, the participants will give a predetermined bidder an order to bid on the qualities used during the game. This also illustrates how a person reacts to competition, and any impact that may have on values and behavior in a group dynamic. Participants are encouraged to understand and respect values which are different from their own. Lastly, participants will begin to realize their own potential as leaders.
