Hello all,

I want to thank everyone who participated in last week’s election of new
officers. Unfortunately, I made a procedural mistake with the nomination
process and want to apologize if you were affected by this. Please know it
was not my intention to pressure anyone into positions! I am also new to
the role of president in the AHGSA, and I am learning on the job. This past
week I consulted with Professor Le Blanc and requested guidance from UCR’s
Graduate Student Association. Here are our next steps:

1. Please consider the recent officer election void.
2. If you would like to be considered for a position, please send me an
email with Lindsay (lmero002 at ucr.edu) indicating which positions you would
like to be considered for. Please find the available position
descriptions below! If there is more than one position that you're
interested in, please include that. Please send us this email before *12 PM
on Thursday, October 22*.
3. Once we receive these and confirm we have self-nominations for every
position, I will circulate a digital ballot that keeps voting anonymous.

Thank you for your patience with this!

Best,

*Graciela Calderone Pacheco Van Den Eykel (she/her)*
