Editor’s note: You can read our disclaimer on our UPUA election coverage here.
The University Park Undergraduate Association announced its candidates vying for election to the Eleventh Assembly, including two presidential tickets. Campaigning officially began this morning at 6 a.m. for the March 30 election. The first official campaign event — a “Meet the Candidates” session — is scheduled for tomorrow from 7-9 p.m. in 302 HUB. We’ll have updates and coverage of all things UPUA throughout the campaign season and on election day. You can view the candidates platforms on the election website.
First, the two presidential tickets:
Terry Ford and Katie Jordan
Current Vice President Terry Ford headlines one presidential ticket accompanied by current At-Large Representative Katie Jordan. Ford, a rising senior, spent his first years as a Freshman Council member and then an At-Large Representative before serving as Vice President. Jordan, a sophomore, was on Freshman Council before serving as an At-Large Rep.
Divy Agnihotri and Megan Fleming
Current At-Large Representative and junior Divy Agnihotri is another candidate who will make a bid for the presidency. Agnihotri has served on UPUA since his freshman year, first as a Freshman Council member and then as an At-Large Rep for the last two. Megan Fleming, a sophomore and former Onward State managing editor, will accompany Agnihotri in the race.
UPUA also released the candidates for the At-Large and Academic Representatives. There are 22 candidates vying for 20 At-Large seats and one seat per academic college available.
