The SGA election is a little over a week away (April 18th-20th). I expect to see an explosion of publicity this coming week, as well as a candidate debate. In the meantime, get to know the candidates and preview the one referendum question on the ballot (so far) at the election web site. (This is the same site you'll visit to start voting: www.umbc.edu/studentvote). And check out the candidates for President and Executive VP in this week's edition of The Retriever Weekly. Plus the Election Board has created a Facebook group; join now to get updates and help get out the vote. My prediction: While this year's campaign hasn't become fully visible on campus yet, we're going to set an all-time UMBC turnout record. The number to beat is 2,448 (achieved in 2009). And for the third consecutive year, we'll exceed the turnout at College Park and Towson as a percentage of the student body. Make it so!
