CSGA Elections
Each Spring, Chaminade University Undergraduate Students take part in the process of democratically electing the new CSGA Executive Board. As both candidates and voters, students learn how their participation in elections is critical to the success of the University. This process is a microcosm of the larger Representative Democracy of the U.S. and seeks to empower students to participate in the electoral process by encouraging them to support candidates with whom they share core values and beliefs, or campaigning to, themselves, become an agent of change at the University.
Students interested in becoming a candidate for office should look for more information in the Spring Semester.
