In both cases a nomination may be as simple as \u201cI nominate <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">name<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for the position of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">position<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u201d Optionally, you may include additional supporting text. All nominations must receive a \u201csecond\u201d. A second may be announced verbally at a council meeting, or by a reply to the nomination email. For example \u201cI second the nomination of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">name<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for the position of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">position<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u201d 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\u2019s rep and inform them of your decision to run. In doing so, you can get their support and second of your nomination. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nomination Acceptance:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Personal Statement:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 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 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Representatives. Additionally, this personal statement will be posted on the GSA website. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please read this document:\u00a0GSA_Elections_Document_for_2018-2019 Nomination Process Eligibility: Any graduate student may be nominated regardless of full-time or part-time status.
