Today is the Last Day to Vote in the Campus Election!

Today is the last day to vote in the campus election! Have you voted yet?

As of Friday, only 10% of undergrads have voted in the election. For fee measures to pass, 25% of the student body must have voted. At stake are fee measures from the Sustainability Office (#76) and KZSC (#77). Each fee measure is focused on student employment and success. These are wonderful opportunities to continue student employment and prepare our students for life after college. Without reaching the needed threshold of students who voted, these fee measures cannot pass and these opportunities will be lost.

You can easily vote here and voting takes 2 minutes. Voting closes at 11:59 pm. tonight!
