Coleman sent an email with the results of the elections to all undergraduate students on Friday morning.

The elected candidates are:

The email cited “technical difficulties” for not electing an Athletics Representative. A re-election between Kaitlyn McDonnell and Samantha Lindquist will take place on Sept. 15 to decide who will take on the new role.
