There are two ways to get involved with the SEBS Governing Council – either by direct elections or by petitioning the council during the year.

  • Elections are held twice a year: there is one major election in April where all seats are up for election, and one election in September/October to fill any vacant seats, especially for incoming first-year and transfer students.
  • If you would like to get involved with the SEBS Governing Council during the year, please fill out this interest form and contact the Corresponding Secretary at corresponding.sgc.council@gmail.com. Please include “SEBS Governing Council Election” in your subject line.
