On April 7, 8, and 9, the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) held their spring elections. Andrea Eggenberger is the new CCSS external executive, defeating Rachael Grant, who previously held the position. Eggenberger won by 13 votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really close race,\u201d says Eggenberger, who says she hopes to have more events as external executive. \u201cI was preparing to lose because my competition was just fantastic. I was super excited and shocked.\u201d<\/p>\n

409 students (which is 4.87 percent of all Camosun students) voted. The number is consistent with that of previous CCSS elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely wish there were more,\u201d says Eggenberger about the number of students voting. \u201cWe\u2019re going to look into maybe doing some online voting. I think timing is a problem for a lot of students. I asked around and people said, \u2018I\u2019d totally vote, I\u2019m just not available.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Shayli Robinson ran for the position of Lansdowne executive and Chris Marks ran for Interurban executive; both had no competition and were elected in.<\/p>\n

Sarah Lindsay won out as finance executive, while Jackson Traplin is First Nations director, Annabelle Pickering women\u2019s director, and Zachary Snow students with disabilities director (the last three all ran uncontested).<\/p>\n

Pride director Travis Moore defeated Lillian Stearns-Smith in the running for the position and held on to the title, while Vicky Qu defeated Darwin Scott for the position of international director.<\/p>\n

Maggie LeBlanc ran uncontested for sustainability director and was elected in, while Kimberley Banfield took home the Lansdowne director title, and Ellen Young and Bobby Tiet are Interurban directors.<\/p>\n
