After Class of 2011 Senator Helen Chen decided to vacate her position, the Class of 2011 President Alex Rosen and the USG President Connor Diemand-Yauman held a series of interviews to replace her position. The position received a very strong applicant pool. Nevertheless, in the end, Alex and Connor decided to appoint Brian Jeong as the new Class of 2011 Senator. The USG thanks everyone who applied.
