The Student Senator Caucus (SSC) oversees nominations for student members for the Board of Governors and makes a recommendation to them based on the election results. The election of student governors rotates annually between undergraduate and graduate/professional students.
The Board of Governors appoints its members. The Student Senator Caucus is responsible for nominating those members, and in practice has done so through an election. This year, the SSC has appointed Dalubuhle Ndlovu as chief returning officer and Habbiba Ahmed as deputy returning officer. Following the election results, SSC will confirm the results and recommend to the board that the candidate with the highest vote total be appointed to the board.
This year SSC is accepting nominations for graduate student nominees. The deadline for nominations is Friday, March 10 at noon.
