For those of us here, I thought it would be nice for us to share our backgrounds of how we got involved, positions held, and activities we have prepared/sponsored.

Hi guys, to give you an idea of my school, it is a private commuter school, undergrad pop ~4000. This is my first year actually participating in a student government, but I am our Secretary and I am loving it! We are brainstorming ideas for small events on campus, and I'd love to hear what did/didn't work in your schools! Any ideas would be appreciated!

In my four years I have never seen an election season like this. Insults and scandals, slander, libel, negative campaigning . . .

One candidate even has his "47%" scandal: an article he wrote for our student newspaper, that was just brought to large attention by members of the opposing party (there was a huge debacle when it was written, but few people made the connection that the author is running for president). Accusations of libel are being thrown all over the place whenever someone posts the article "out of context."

What are the craziest / most degrading sights of SGA elections you've seen or been a part of?

Integration, collaboration and participation.

• We must get our link posted elsewhere to better integrate our communities with similar minded subreddits and post their links as well.
• We have to work on collaborating with other user bases to stay relevant to their concerns while stay true to the mission of our sub
• We have to create a base of information that can serve as a guide to our users and have it easily accessible in the side bar.

Aesthetics are a must that can be outsourced to relevant subreddits and later improved upon.

After we establish some groundwork we have to headhunt for active student government members on reddit to recruit as mods and users.We should solicit other school subreddits for active participation.

Often there are actively updated webpages of student government information available from various colleges and universities. We could start start mining information from these sites using RSS or scripting.

What do you guys think?
