The UA representative to NEC will be appointed within the next 2 weeks.

Alec Webley, College junior and former UA Chair, recently announced his resignation from the Undergraduate Assembly. While we certainly view his departure with regret, it is our pleasure to announce that Emerson Brooking, College junior and next highest vote-getter, has accepted a seat on the body. Additionally, College freshmen Jake Shuster, the second-highest vote-getter in the SAS Representative election, will assume Webley’s seat on the University Council that has been vacated.

The UA is pleased to announce the results of our Internal Elections, which took place on April 11th, 2010:

Speaker: G.J. Melendez-Torres, Nursing & Wharton ‘11
The Speaker chairs UA meetings and facilitates all internal business, including serving as a link between the executive and the body and managing the associate member process.

Treasurer: Ryan Houston, Wharton ‘11
The Treasurer is responsible for the UA’s own operational funds, the Student Government Budget that appropriates over $1.9 million for all undergraduate government branches at Penn, as well as the UA’s $20,000 Contingency Fund.

Secretary: Cynthia Ip, College ‘12
The Secretary is responsible for record-keeping, communicating to the student body on the UA’s progress through the website and the press, as well as other administration necessary for our operation.

Melendez-Torres, Houston, and Ip will join President Matt Amalfitano and Vice President Mark Pan to form the UA Executive Board.
