Nomination Process
Eligibility: Any graduate student may be nominated regardless of full-time or part-time status.
Applicants may study within any program (PhD, MS, etc). While having experience with the GSA is helpful, it is not required. Past officers have successfully been elected without serving as a GSA Representative first.
Nomination Process: Nominations may be submitted via two methods: (1) an email to the list group-gsa-reps@ncsu.edu [or via group-gsa-execs@ncsu.edu if you are not a current GSA Rep], or (2) in person during our all-council meetings. In both cases a nomination may be as simple as “I nominate name for the position of position.” Optionally, you may include additional supporting text. All nominations must receive a “second”. A second may be announced verbally at a council meeting, or by a reply to the nomination email. For example “I second the nomination of name for the position of position.” If you are not currently serving as a rep, we strongly encourage you to attend our February meeting to get a feel for GSA and to be nominated in person. We also encourage you to reach out to your department’s rep and inform them of your decision to run. In doing so, you can get their support and second of your nomination.
Nomination Acceptance: Nominees must either accept or decline their nomination prior to the voting period. This may be done in person at a council meeting or via email to the GSA Reps list.
Personal Statement: All nominees that accept their nomination should submit a personal statement within two weeks of being nominated so that it may be shared with the GSA
Representatives. Additionally, this personal statement will be posted on the GSA website.
