Student Government Elections at CU-Boulder, The PULSE is READY!

BOULDER, CO: October 24 -28th, 2011 – The University of Colorado at Boulder is holding their Student Government Elections this week. A two-party ballot, with student representatives running for positions within the College of Arts & Sciences and at large, the progressive PULSE ticket will be kicking off their campaign Monday 10/24 with a pep rally on the CU-Boulder campus.

The University of Colorado – Boulder student government manages a $36 million budget generated by student fees and operational revenue from the university cost centers, such as the Women’s Resource Center and Environmental Center.

Fresh from Spring 2011’s competitive campaign race, which saw the highest voter turnout in the history of CU-Boulder, the PULSE is eager to kickoff their campaign. The PULSE is an inclusive and multi-faceted ballot, with candidates representing a multitude of colleges and disciplines, international and underrepresented student populations. A few contentions of the PULSE platform include; making campus a safer place, maintaining and increasing CU-Boulder as the leading Environmentally Sustainable campus, re-accessing student fees, and in line with CU-Boulder’s Flagship 2030 initiative, strengthening the international student community.

The PULSE is running against the conservative leaning Value ticket. Voting ends Friday, October 28th at 8PM, and all CU-Boulder undergraduates, graduate, and law students are encouraged to vote on their MyCUinfo portals.
