These 11 incoming Senators will join the 11 Senators elected in 2018: Arielle Baskin-Sommers, Howard Bloch, Jill Campbell, Shiri Goren, Matthew Jacobson, Ruth Koizim, Nikhil Padmanabhan, Ruzica Piskac, Theresa Schenker, Charles Schmuttenmaer, and Ian Shapiro.
We are particularly grateful for those faculty who ran but were unsuccessful. Competitive elections help ensure that your Senate represents faculty concerns and interests.
Best,
William Nordhaus, chair, FAS Senate, 2018-2019
Alexandre Debs, chair, Elections Committee, 2018-2019
