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 the Google form and then contact the Corresponding Secretary at corresponding.sgc.council@gmail.com. Please include “SEBS Governing Council Election” in your subject line.
