Last week, Alex Mace, Katherine Ladner and Sam Martinez were elected as student body officers. Mace will be the 2012 to 2013 student body president; Ladner will be the student body secretary; Martinez will be the graduate liaison officer.

After the elections, the vice president position was still up in the air.

The three candidates, Zane Cavender, Travis Carlile and Cohagen Wilkinson ran for the position.

Once the polls closed, none of the candidates got a majority of the votes.

Student Senate then held a run off election between Canvender and Carlile.

Polls opened Wednesday and closed Thursday at 5 p.m.

Canvender walked away with the position.

One thousand one hundred and one ballots were cast by the student body during the runoff election. Cavender received 630 votes, while Carlile received 471 votes.

Cavender along with the other candidates that were elected will be inaugurated at the official Senate Inauguration on April 24 at 3 p.m. in the Hughes-Trigg Commons.
