The Darden School held its school-wide elections Feb. 12 to 16, electing its representatives to various University organizations. The number of Darden candidates running for positions surpassed that of any other University graduate school this year.
In Darden, three students ran for two spots on the University Judiciary Committee, and seven students competed for the two positions open on both the Honor Committee and Student Council. This contrasts with the lower participation of other University graduate schools like the Medical School, which has only three candidates for Honor and one for UJC.
Honor Chair Alison Tramba said when students from graduate schools fail to provide the set number of students for each committee, the University Board of Elections allows each school to appoint its representatives.
Darden Executive Vice President Art Chung said he was glad to see Darden's high participation in the elections.
Board Chair Steve Yang said though the Darden elections were held separately from the other Board elections, students at Darden also vote during the regular University elections on referenda. He added that he hopes the two election processes will coincide in the future so "the Darden students can vote on all candidates and issues at the same time."
Eric Schreiber, newly elected Darden Honor representative, said he feels privileged to have his new position.
"Ethical behavior is really important to me," he said. "I look forward to upholding [the honor code] and educating those who have not had exposure to the honor code before."
He said he believes Darden students participate in elections more than other graduate schools because of the small size of Darden.
"We're only about 600 students and you really get to know one another on a personal basis, he said. "We have immense pride in Darden."
Other newly elected Darden school representatives include Honor Rep. Karin Bergqvist, UJC Reps. Kevin Kosefeski and Anthony Mark McLaughlin and Student Council Darden Rep. Elizabeth Cundari.
