After a grueling two weeks of campaigning and online voting, amassing a total of nearly 1600 votes, the results are in.

Regardless, the student body has spoken and has elected the following:
President: Lucas Hippel
Vice President (Appointed): Robert Kudart
Archivist: Olivia McDonnell
Media and Marketing Director: Chris Montepara
Events Director: Mike O’Connor

For the President position, the elections ended in a dead tie at 562-562, prompting the summoning of the entire USGA Board this Sunday May 16th at 8pm for a vote to determine who the best candidate is. Location will be McAlister 2019. Each candidate will have the opportunity to speak why they are the best candidate for the next year, and will answer any audience and USGA officer questions.
Write-ins will be appointed, sworn-in and announced before the term is over.
