Election Information

The MGSA holds annual elections to elect the members of Executive Committee. All music graduate students are automatically voting members of the MGSA. An Elections Committee made up of MGSA volunteers oversees the election.

Our 2023-24 school year elections took place from April 10th-14th, 2023. Results were announced by email on April 20th. The bios of our new executive committee are now partially posted on the Our Team page.

Thank you to all of the candidates who ran, and to the students who voted. A special thank you to Hannah Davis-Abraham and Kolby Zinger-Harris, this year’s Elections Committee.
