Student Council elected third-year College student Michael Promisel as the chair of its representative body Tuesday.
Promisel was nominated for the position alongside third-year College student Evan Dunks, a College representative, and Batten School Representative Sheridan Fuller, a fourth-year Batten student.
All three candidates highlighted their experience with Council in speeches to Council members.
“I have the experience to get things done as chair,” Dunks said to Council. “You can read all day how it’s supposed to work but seeing it — that gives me the edge to do a good job as chair.”
Fuller said he wanted to make Council a more cohesive organization that is responsive to the student body.
“[Council needs] to adjust what we do to meet [students’] needs and concerns,” he said. “I am uniquely positioned to address that dissidence.”
Promisel said his experience with Council’s recent bylaw reform positioned him well to serve as chair.
“It is in our hands to set a new precedent,” Promisel said. “Having helped deliberate and draft these reforms, I am situated to make sure they are realized.”
In addition to implementing the new bylaws, Promisel said he also wants to quickly fill the four vacant committee chair positions.
