Several organizations and individuals put forth extra effort to ensure that the elections were a success:

• ACM president James Pita encouraged nominations, advertised the election, and kept ACM members informed throughout the process.


• Numerous graduate and undergraduate students encouraged their peers to vote.


• Scott Fleming and members of the Computer Science and Engineering Graduate Association (CSEGA) are to be commended for their successful efforts in promoting the elections among our graduate student constituency: graduate student voter turnout was 71%.


• CSE System Manager Ryan Blair performed critical administrative tasks and facilitated the online voting system.



Thank you to everyone who assisted with and participated in this year’s elections!
