Student Senate ranked the top two applicants for the student trustee position at its 4 p.m. meeting Monday after the current trustee announced he will graduate in the spring.

Student Trustee Sullivan Jones, senior of Papillion, announced that Ella O’Brien, junior of Chadron, and Cooper Reichman, senior of Chappell, are the two nominees the trustee selection committee chose to present to the senate.

Jones read each candidate’s letter they had written to senate about their interest in being student trustee, and their quali cations.

“A student trustee’s biggest contribution they can make is bringing a new perspective and adding their ideas to improve their college to make it the best that the college can be,” O’Brien stated in the letter. “It is a vital role that carries many responsibilities and I believe that I have the capability to execute those responsibilities thoroughly and e ectively.”

After the readings, each senator voted on a candidate based on their quali cation for the trustee position. e senate voted 12-3 in favor of Reichman.

“I feel grateful to the people who have made this campus safe, beautiful, inspirational, educational, and like home to me,” Reichman stated. “Making this college’s students, sta , and faculty feel heard and understood is a great starting point in creating an institution that is worth being a part of.” e college will now send the rankings to the governor for further consideration.
