On September 1 (the term change-over date), the roster page of the Faculty Senate page will be updated and will reflect the 2022-2023 term membership, including links to each member’s bio sketch and email address.

If a seat becomes vacant during the term, the remaining Senate members from the same elections year will all move up one seat, based on number of votes received in the election, and the vacated Alternate Senator seat will be offered to the first runner-up. If they are unavailable, then the seat will be offered to the second runner-up and so on. Elections results in the form of seat awarded and list of runners-up can be found in the Elections Results document and are posted on the Faculty Senate Document page.
