MONTEVALLO Ala.–While the school year may be coming to a close, the semester is far from over for students preparing to run in the upcoming Student Government Association and College Night leader elections.
Candidates across campus are beginning their campaigns as they prepare to share their goals, platforms and ideas with the student body. The elections provide students the opportunity to vote for leaders who will represent their interests and help guide campus events through the next academic year.
As the election approaches, nominees from both SGA and College Night are introducing themselves to the student body and sharing what they hope to accomplish if elected.
