Each class elects a leadership body whose purpose is to formally represent the class with their interests and concerns. Elected officers should represent the collective voice, not just the voice of the individual elected. Elections are held typically one month after the start of school in order to give class members time to get to know one another. Most elected positions cover the period of time while you are at Logan, however, a few of the positions transition to WSU CVM and so last all four years. Upperclassmen and the OSS usually assist with the election process.
The class raises (and expends) funds to support its fellow members with opportunities to increase their educational experiences with offsite events, guest speakers, etc., and provide social and cultural experiences. Discretion and professionalism should be the hallmark of elected representatives. Because this is a student initiated and orchestrated organization, the positions and responsibilities can be modified. Meetings are set by the class presidency, but typically are held bi-monthly.
