The yearly elections for Student Congress president and vice president positions will be April 12, 13 and 14 outside of the cafeteria.
The town hall meeting, in which the candidates will discuss campus issues, will be at 7 p.m. on April 5 on DCTV. The town hall meeting will also be broadcast on CORE FM. Students can e-mail questions for the candidates to DCTV@doane.edu.
The town hall meeting gives the student body a chance to see the candidates that may be representing them, said current StuCo President Jimmy Feeney.
“The event was poorly attended and watched last year, but I hope students realize how important their decision is and use the town hall meeting as an opportunity to form their opinion as to who the best candidate is,” Feeney said.
The presidential and vice presidential candidates must have served as a Student Congress senator for at least the semester prior to running, have junior or senior status while in office and have a 2.0 GPA, Feeney said.
The student body is encouraged to participate in the elections to make their voice heard.
“I hope people vote and get involved with the election,” said presidential candidate Lindsay Wegener.
Todd Andrews is running against Wegener for president, while Jordan Hahn and Natalie Nelsen compete for vice president.
As the candidates prepare for next year, Feeney prepares to complete his time as StuCo president.
He said he enjoyed his year as president but is confident that all of the candidates are capable of leading Student Congress.
“I look forward to passing the torch to either of these candidates,” said Feeney. “I won’t hesitate one bit to leave them in charge of the Doane College Student Congress.”
