History Society call for nominations

Are you interested in being part of the greatest undergraduate society on campus? Now is your time to get involved!

The History Society is accepting nominations for next year’s team. Nominations can be made between March 20 and March 28 via Erin Campbell.

• You may only nominate yourself (you cannot nominate a friend)
• You must meet the requirements for the role to which you are applying
• You can apply for more than one role

After March 28, nominees for each position will be reviewed. If there is more than one nominee for a position, an election period will commence, and the candidate with the most votes on April 2 will be awarded the position. Only current History students (undergraduate, graduate, major or minor) can vote, and you may only cast one ballot.

All candidates will be notified via email or phone of either outcome by April 2. The executives for next year’s History Society will be announced at our year end event, Trivia Night, on April 3.
