Whitewater Student Government Elects New Officials for Spring 2010 Semester

Whitewater, Wisconsin – January 27, 2010 – Whitewater Student Government filled several open positions in the senate Monday, January 25, including speaker and deputy speaker.

UW-Whitewater juniors, Senators Justin Schoenemann and Curtissa McMillian were elected speaker and deputy speaker, respectively. Both Schoenemann and McMillian said they are excited to be in their positions and have big plans for the semester.

Sophomore Andrew Whaley was re-elected into the parliamentarian position and junior Anna Schwarz was confirmed as the WSG clerk. Schwarz was selected in the fall semester to serve as clerk for the spring semester, but needed this semester’s senate to approve the selection.
