This past week, StuCo held an election for freshman class president. Though the process remained largely the same, like most events this year, it had to be adjusted slightly. The class elected Tim Browdy and Andrew Moffet as the presidents, and Archie Carruthers as the vice president.

The first deviation: two presidents, one from each cohort. 

“We decided because they didn’t spend the first semester as a class, co-presidents was a great way to not alienate one side of the class,” said StuCo co-moderator Megan Menne.

The election ran as usual, having a winner (or two, in this case) and the runner up being vice president. On Monday, Jan. 11, the annual speeches were held at a safe distance, and the voting forms were sent out immediately afterwards. 

“Andrew and I are going to try and create that culture of togetherness,” said Browdy. “I’m excited to be in a creative environment and to be a voice for the freshmen in that room.” 

Browdy started a Spikeball Club first semester that brought freshmen together through competition, this being just one of the many ways in which he got involved. 

Moffet is also excited by the opportunity to be on StuCo.

 “I am excited to see my work impact my classmates in a meaningful way,” Moffet said. “We’re going to work hard to make sure every student's voice is heard.” 

Browdy and Moffet are both confident that their speeches played a very large role in this year's election. 

“Just gave them a concise speech that was memorable and gave them a reason to vote for me,” said Browdy.

Similarly, Moffet noted that, “The speech was really to make an impression on the Ignatius guys.” 

This year has come with its fair share of changes, but both Browdy and Moffet are excited for the challenges this new year will present.

 “I’d just like to thank everyone who voted for me and I am grateful for this wonderful opportunity, and Roll Bills,” said Browdy.
