Slating with the Student Alliance: Joining a team of student leaders with the vision and passion to make this university better.
Are you ready to make a difference at your University? If so, come out and join the Student Alliance! Slating for Senate seats begins on Friday, January 29 and continues Monday and Tuesday February 1-2. Qualifying is open from 9 AM to 5 PM and will be held in room 284 of the J. Wayne Reitz Union. Whether you are interested in running for office or if you just want to help out, you should definitely come out and talk to party members and see what we're all about. Be sure to bring your Gator 1!
The University of Florida Student Senate is made up of 100 Senators, 50 of which are elected in the spring and 50 more in the fall. All Senators serve a one year term. Fall senators represent their residence hall or off campus district, while spring senators represent their college or academic classification. Students with 0 to 29 credit hours completed (transfer or AP hours included) represent the freshman class, Students with 30 to 59 credits represent the sophomore class. Undergrads with 60 or more credits represent their college (e.g. Liberal Arts and Sciences, Business, Engineering). Law, medicine, dentistry, nursing or veterinary medicine students represent their college, and all other graduate students fill non-specific graduate seats.
In order to qualify to run for senate there are a few requirements. First, you must be a full time student taking at least 12 credits for undergrads or at least 6 credits for graduates. If you are an undergraduate you must maintain at least a 2.5 GPA; graduate students must maintain at least a 3.0 GPA. You must be free of any conduct probation or academic probation from the University (students on Critical Tracking probation are eligible). You must continue to fulfill these requirements as long as you are in senate in order to retain your seat.
What am I getting myself into?
Senate meetings every Tuesday night at 7:30 PM. As a member of the Student Alliance, you will also be expected to attend weekly party meetings which will be scheduled following the election.
The campaign is very time intensive, and you will be expected to put in several hours per day leading up to the election. However, if you do put in the time, your hard work will pay off when you become a Senator with the Student Alliance.
How do I run?
As we mentioned above, qualifying will be on Friday, January 29, Monday, February 1, and Tuesday, February 2. You will need to bring your Gator 1 card to room 284 of the Reitz Union. Once there, you will fill out a form with the Supervisor of Elections then you will be able to come to the Student Alliance room and interview to run for Senate. Feel free to bring us a resume if you have one. We don't care what you wear, but be sure to bring your best ideas for UF's future. If you have any questions, email us at join@ufstudentalliance.com. We hope to see you then!
