There are two main ways to get involved in USG: through elected positions or appointed positions. USG elections occur twice a year, at the ends of the fall and spring semesters. In December, the majority of the USG Executive Committee is elected, which includes the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and all of the core committee chairs with the exception of the Social Chair. Two class senators from each of the freshmen, sophomore, and junior classes are elected in the fall semester elections as well. In the spring elections, the 10 U-Councilors, the Social Chair, and class government officers are elected. (For the freshmen class, there is a special election early in the year to elect class officers for the first time). The other main way to get involved in USG is through an appointed position. There are many appointed positions in a variety of areas, and the USG usually accepts applications in the wake of elections. These positions include Executive Secretary, IT Chair, Communications Director, Student Groups Liaison, and Elections Manager. In addition, the core committees accept new members who are appointed by their respective chairs. Two other areas with which one can get involved are the Projects Board and the Diversity Council. Finally, any student can get involved by coming to the weekly senate meetings in Frist or emailing someone already involved in the USG with an idea. We encourage all students to get involved and take a stake in student government at Princeton. The USG represents the voice of the student body, so let your voice be heard. |
