Wesleyan Student Voters

by

Dear Students,

 

Please note that the Middletown Registrar of Voters has revised their policy regarding Wesleyan student voter registration for the coming elections. This will affect how students will go about voting on election day. 

**Students will now have to vote at one of four different polling locations depending on where they officially reside on campus according to ResLife records.**

 

Students should check their WesBox for a letter from the Registrar of Voters to get their new polling location information. If you do not get a letter, call the registrar of voters at 860-344-3518 to find out your polling location. Students do not need to go confirm their official residence at the Registrar of Voters. They may go to their appropriate voting location on Election Day with their WesID and verbally confirm their residence. 

Students may still register to vote in person at the Registrar of Voters until Monday, November 7th at noon. (located at 245 DeKoven Drive, open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm). 

Rides will be provided to the various polling locations for students on election day.

 

If you have any inquiries, please contact wsa@wesleyan.edu or wesleyanvotes@gmail.com Thanks and happy voting!  The WSA

WSA President’s Cabinet

by

Are you interested in voicing your concerns related to campus issues? Do you not feel represented by the current WSA?

Hi, my name is Zachary Malter, and I am the President of the WSA. I have decided to found the President’s Cabinet, so students can meet with me every month and provide their input on campus issues.The goal of the cabinet is to bring together diverse students from disparate areas of campus, and to allow students who wouldn’t otherwise be included in the WSA discussion to be heard. 

If you are at all interested, please e-mail me at zmalter@wesleyan.edu. Indicate your name, class year, e-mail, why you’re interested, and your other activities.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.  All the best, Zach

Spring Fling is an all-campus outdoor concert that happens on Foss Hill every May. In the past, artists like The Dirty Projectors, Big Boi, and TV on the Radio have come to rock out Wesleyan’s student body. Social Committee works throughout the year to put together a multiple-act show that brings the most current and enjoyable bands to campus in an effort to please the entire student body.

If you would like to become a member of the Social Committee in the 2011-2012 school year, please answer the questions in the attached application (either in an email or an attached word document) and send them to mpiderit@wesleyan.edu by Friday, September 23rd. We will review the applications and contact applicants for interviews. The committee meets once a week according to member availability.

The Social Committee

The Green Fund Committee is now accepting committee member applications for the year. The Green Fund Committee is responsible for allocating the funds raised from the Green Fund Fee: an opt-out $15 fee charged to each undergraduate each semester. Any student, faculty, or staffperson can submit a proposal to the Green Fund to improve the Wesleyan Community’s environmental footprint. The fund is intended for projects that the University might not pursue on their own means. If you feel like you would be a good candidate for this committee, fill out the application at:

The application is due on Monday, September 26th at 5pm. For more info, visit: greenfund.WSA.Wesleyan.edu.  You can also contact: greenfund@wesleyan.edu with any questions or comments
