Student Council Elections!

With the fall semester upon us, it's time for ~~more post stealing~~ Student Council elections! This year, Zoe will be the Student Council advisor, and all she needs are students to work with!

The Student Council is comprised of 9 students total: 3 seniors, 3 juniors, 2 sophomores, and 1 freshman.

IC responsibilities for StuCo members include:

Showing up for meetings
Hosting the Parents' Weekend brunch...
...the Homecoming Carnival
...the Homecoming Dance
...the Valentine's Day Dance
...Prom
...other fun events (such as field trips, flowers for Valentine's Day, finals coffee breaks, etc.)
...and anything else the members come up with!

OOC responsibilities for StuCo members include:

Pinging into the meetings (they'll happen every other Friday during lunch, posted by Zoe and/or whoever the StuCo President ends up being).
Volunteering for and actually putting up the posts for carnival, prom, etc.
Coming up with ideas for fun events to do.
Organizing and implementing said fun events.
Tracking the StuCo comm where we do the OOC "who posts what" stuff.
Coordinating with me to make sure we get admin permission for anything that needs admin permission.

Since the ball is rolling on the semester, the campaigns kick off now!

OOCly: If you want to throw your character's hat into the ring, fill out the appropriate thread below. This will also count as handwavily filling out the same form IC and sticking it in a box on Zoe's door. This is the minimum requirement for getting your character's name on the ballot.

ICly: Campaign your little hearts out! Put up posters, give speeches, kiss babies, hand out buttons - whatever. You don't have to do this as part of the election, but remember that you're asking to be elected to a job that requires more work IC and OOC, so campaigning might be a good way to show both yourself and everyone else that you've got the time to put into the task.

Deadline for sign-ups is 11pm Eastern, Thursday, September 15th.
The day of the election will be Friday, September 16th.
Winners will be announced Saturday, September 17th.
The first StuCo meeting will be Friday, September 23rd.

Just follow the OCD and you'll be all set!

In case there are any!

I never actually connected the two things, but in college, we nicknamed one of our professors StuCo.

With that in mind, will StuCo representatives have to wear floppy hats and trenchcoats and be terrible at teaching architecture?

Well, no one will be denied the right to a floppy hat or trenchcoat, but they won't be the required uniform.

And the teaching of architecture?

I suppose they can be terrible at it, but only this time around.

Oooh, okay.

Thanks!

*ggg* At the request of Wes's player, Kenzi's going to be running this campaign... and have forged this nomination, if that's cool with the mods. (He needs to get out more! ALso, get recognition! It's a good thing!)

From the mun:
Oh oh oh and in that case, can we say that Kenzi forged the student council candidate form here: http://fandomhigh-ooc.livejournal.com/862940.html#cutid1

I just realized that it's meant to be IC as well as OOC, so if he doesn't know he's running... :D

^ What she said!

As long as you're good with the idea, it's fine!

1) Name: Petra West
2) Class: Junior
3) Previous experience (Fandom High StuCo, jobs, clubs, or experiences from before arriving in Fandom): Worked at a center for LGBT youth in Providence, Rhode Island. Represented Rhode Island in Miss Teen Dream 2011. Currently in the process of founding a Pride chapter at the school.
4) List at least one idea for an activity that Student Council could do that it hasn't done before: I'm new here, so I don't really know what hasn't been done before, but I was thinking about a series of floor- and dorm-wide events to build a sense of community and help everyone get to know each other, like door-decorating contests, common room sleepovers, community dinners, peer-to-peer workshops, and makeover nights! Additionally, I think disaster preparedness is very important and we should run drills and seminars focusing on what to do in case of various emergencies.
5) Why should you be elected to Student Council?: As a new student, I bring a fresh perspective to the Student Council, and as a survivor of the Miss Teen Dream disaster I have experience working with a group to organize and ~~survive~~ thrive.

1) Name: Toby Logan
2) Class: Freshman
3) Previous experience (Fandom High StuCo, jobs, clubs, or experiences from before arriving in Fandom): I'll be honest here. I haven't really had a chance to do much of that stuff, mostly because I've moved around so much.
4) List at least one idea for an activity that Student Council could do that it hasn't done before: Spirit days? ~~which the island kind of manages on its own just fine, but shh~~ Or maybe some sort of culture fair.
5) Why should you be elected to Student Council?: Like I said, I've moved around a lot. But I think I've finally found a place that's going to let me stick around a while, and I think it's time I gave back a little. It sounds pretty hokey, I know, but there you have it.

No world ending before my school year actually begins!
