The new chair-elect and secretary-elect will move into those positions during the annual change of faculty leadership on July 1, when Donald Mulvaney will assume the office of chair of the University Senate and Greg Schmidt will become secretary of the Senate, succeeding Nedret Billor as chair and Adrienne Willson as secretary. After working with Mulvaney and Schmidt for a year, those elected this time will move into the leadership positions in July 2021.

Any faculty members who have a problem with logging in to the voting site should contact one of the current Senate officers.
