Spring 2026 Primary Election
Nominations ClosedHEYY LABBBBB!!!! welcome to the most kick ass awesomeness version of the SSE elections ever this is the first time the elections will be hosted on a system that we entirely wrote an election for our organization ran on a server by our organization. Democracy is very important to me particularly because I’m a very smart guy and very smart guys like democracy. So because I like democracy so much I’ve made you an election system and you’re going to elect whoever you want and we’ve increased the Democratic process massively by passing three constitutional amendments now how many presidents do you know of past three constitutional amendments and you know what not many of them wrote the system they were passed on and now we’ve got the freest fairest most American most SSE election ever on the most SSE system on the most SSE website ever!! thank you for your attention to this matter!!! President JJL

AcceptedHi everyone, my name is Sam. I’m a second year CS and Math major, and I’ve been mentoring for two semesters. As the current head of Lab Ops I oversaw the lab rework this semester. Lap Ops was a great introduction to SSE officer-ship, but I’m ready to take more responsibility. I love spreadsheets, and I have lots of plans for treasurer!

AcceptedI’ve been a very active member of the SSE for the last year, serving as Talks Head in the Fall, and Marketing Head this Spring. The SSE and the people in it have without question been the brightest spot in my years at RIT and I would love to take a more active role in the org!
Taveon Cameron
AcceptedHey Lab, my name is Taveon Cameron and I’m a first year software engineering student. I’ve brought a lot of people to the lab as Events Head, but the SSE needs a continuous stream of new people to keep the club going. As Secretary, I plan to prioritize getting people into the lab, from upcoming freshmen to upperclassmen. The people in the SSE are what makes this club special and I want to continue to bring great people to the SSE.
