The Elon Student Government Association is having its spring 2021 elections on March 18 and 19 via PhoenixConnect.
Students will be able to vote for members of the executive board, as well as their class representatives and members of the finance board.
Below are the class of 2024 representative positions and what their roles and responsibilities are.
Class president
The class president represents their class throughout Elon University as a whole. Each class president has specific initiatives and serves on different committees in SGA. They focus on issues that directly impact their class year, and are in charge of planning events for their year.
