Want to be more involved with Dwight Hall?

Hi Dwight Hall!

You may have already seen this information, but I wanted to make sure you all were aware of our upcoming elections!

Cabinet will vote to elect a new ExComm on Monday, November 9 at 7 pm, to serve for the 2011 calendar year. Any sophomore or junior who has been an active member of a Dwight Hall group for at least one semester may run for a position.

We hope you will consider joining this team! The "Old" ExComm will be having an information session about our roles in running Dwight Hall on Wednesday, October 27th TODAY at 9:00pm. We encourage all students interested in applying to attend this session. We will discuss what it's like to run a non-profit (Dwight Hall is a student-run institution), as well as what each position entails.

From there, applicants have a week to meet with current ExCommers holding their positions of interest (mandatory, but we are very flexible in our meeting availability), fill out their applications, and submit them to This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript and This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript by 11:59 PM on Thursday, November 4th.

Elections will be held during our cabinet meeting on Tuesday, November 9th at 7:00pm. Candidates must attend in order to give their speeches and be available for questions from Cabinet members. We hope you will email us and look forward to answering any questions you may have.

All best,
Dwight Hall Student Executive Committee 2010

Hope all is well,
