On April 7, 8, and 9, the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) held their spring 2015 elections.
Andrea Eggenberger is the new CCSS external executive, defeating Rachael Grant, who previously held the position. Eggenberger won by 13 votes.
409 students voted in the election (225 at Lansdowne and 184 at Interurban), which is 4.87 percent of Camosun students. The number is consistent with voter turnout in previous CCSS elections, and is up from the fall 2014 elections, which saw 348 students voting.
Shayli Robinson ran for the position of Lansdowne executive and Chris Marks ran for Interurban executive; both had no competition and both were elected in.
Sarah Lindsay won out as finance executive, while Jackson Traplin is First Nations director, Annabelle Pickering women’s director, and Zachary Snow students with disabilities director (the last three all ran uncontested).
Pride director Travis Moore defeated Lillian Stearns-Smith in the running for the position and held on to the title, while Vicky Qu defeated Darwin Scott for the position of international director.
Maggie LeBlanc ran uncontested for sustainability director and was elected in, while Kimberly Banfield took home the Lansdowne director title and Ellen Young and Bobby Tiet are Interurban directors.
All those elected begin their positions on May 1, 2015.
The CCSS has elections in the spring and fall of every year. Full election results can be found at camosunstudent.org, where students can also go to find out more about their student society.
