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.

Schoenemann plans to work with the constitutional review committee to bring new legislation to WSG. Enforcing existing WSG rules and regulations is McMillian’s main focus 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.

WSG President Tim Scully said each person in a new position stands a good chance of succeeding in their respective positions.

“I look forward to working with each person who was elected and I hope they all are able to do a good job for WSG,” Scully said.
