The Graduate and Professional Student Council elected five members of its 2012-2013 executive board at its meeting Tuesday, GPSC President-elect Bill Hunt said.
Hunt, a fourth-year doctoral candidate in English, will succeed GPSC President Felicia Hawthorne, a fifth-year doctoral candidate in the genetics and genomics program.
“I am really excited to have been elected president, and I look forward to working together with stakeholders throughout the Duke and Durham community,” Hunt wrote in an email Tuesday night. “I’m really excited about working with next year’s executive board in a way that best represents the shared goals of the graduate and professional student community.”
Shannon O’Connor, a third-year M.D./Ph.D. student at the School of Medicine will serve as vice president of the council. Amol Yadav, a doctoral candidate at the Center for Neuroengineering, was elected treasurer. Chris Marsicano, a first-year master of public policy candidate, was elected attorney general. Pan Wu, a fourth-year doctoral candidate in chemistry, will serve as academic officer.
Due to time constraints at the meeting Tuesday, elections for the remaining positions were tabled until the meeting March 27, Hunt said. The positions to be determined at the later date include executive secretary, student life co-chairs, communications coordinator, University affairs coordinator, student group liaison, community outreach coordinator and career development chair.
