Senate Elections
Those of you that are eligible to vote for members of the University Senate will have received an email with the subject " FSE Senate Election 2021 [Action required]". There are four members to be elected from the FSE. Members of Senate are our voices on decisions about how the University is run, so do vote. The email was sent out on 22 February and there are two weeks in which to you’re your votes. While I in no way wish to influence your votes, I will just point out that there are two candidates from this Department - Professors Dixon and Sattler.
