Officer Election Cycle - Thoughts?Academic Year Calendar Year

Term: Fall – Spring Semester◦ Elections in late spring

Potential challenges in officer transition (summer break/graduating officers)

Offset from CCI’s new student org. calendar

Still aligns with NSCS event calendar

Term: Jan – Dec◦ Elections in early Dec

(prior to exams) Potentially smoother

officer transition (old officers still around)

New officers can attend CCI Student Org. Training in early Jan.

Chapter officer transition offset from national NSCS event calendar
