The visibility and publicity of the Student Assembly remained its central concern as S.A. candidates gathered yesterday evening in a two-hour long forum.
24 undergraduates are running for 18 seats in this year’s S.A election. Online voting will begin next Tuesday, and the results will be announced that Friday.
The forum, which was held in Robert Purcell Community Center, was led by S.A.’s Director of Elections Mark Coombs ’08, who is also a Sun columnist. When he asked candidates what the S.A. should improve upon, most candidates agreed that the S.A. needed to increase its publicity and reach out to the students it represents.
“Our brand recognition is not as strong as it should be,” said Gregory Mezey ’09. “The S.A. as a brand … needs to be revitalized.”
