Election Guide





Update: February 2009

Dear Students,

Each spring the Board of Election of Lehman College schedules and administers annual elections for the Campus Association for Student Activities (CASA) and the Student Conference of the Lehman College Senate (CONFERENCE). Election by your fellow students to CASA or to CONFERENCE provides a unique opportunity to serve the Lehman community. Members of CASA plan and organize a comprehensive program of social and extra curricular events that enrich the campus culture. Members of the Conference are Senators in the Lehman College Senate. The Senate reviews and approves all academic programs and policies for the College. Each body meets monthly and more often than not includes a subcommittee meeting. The Lehman College Association for Campus Activities awards stipends of varying amounts to CASA and Conference members on the condition that members attend regularly scheduled meetings.

In addition to CASA and Conference other boards exist that provide an opportunity to lead. The Judicial Board elects students every two years. The Judicial Board through it's advising opinion seeks to reconcile disputes and/or problems arising between student organizations, committees and independent boards whether elected or appointed. The board shall have the power to make recommendations governing the policies of all organizations.
You may also serve as an appointed member of various campus boards. The Board of Election, The Student Election Review Committee (SERC) and The Communication Facilities Board consist of appointed members.
In closing I invite you to review the attached materials and seriously consider either running for campus office or submitting your name as a candidate for an appointed position. Watch the campus bulletin boards for Notices of Regular or Special Elections.

Cordially,
Michael E. Sullivan
Director of Campus Life
