Dear WPI Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce voting for WPI’s Staff Council will open on Tuesday, May 28th, and will conclude on Friday, June 7th at 11:59 p.m.
Voting Process
In an effort to broaden the representation of employees across the divisions, nominees will be grouped into seven (7) divisional groups, with one (1) member serving from each group. Groups represent an even distribution of employees and job classifications levels of eligible employees. Eligible staff will be able to vote by ranking their choices within each divisional group. You can use the table below to identify the different groups.
A voting form listing each candidate and Staff Council’s voting companion webpage - where you can learn more about the candidates - will be live on Tuesday, May 28th. Candidates are listed in alphabetical order and will appear under their respective divisional group (see below for the group categories).
Instructions on How to Vote
On Tuesday, May 28th, each eligible staff voter will receive a personalized email from the Staff Council email account (staffcouncil@wpi.edu) requesting that you vote for Staff Council members. You can refer to voter eligibility in the Staff Council webpage.
Voting for the Staff Council will follow a rank order voting system via a Qualtrics form.
- To vote for each group, simply indicate your preference for the candidates by placing the numbers 1, 2, 3, etc. next to each candidate, with "1" representing your first preference.
- If you do not wish to rank all candidates, then you may rank only those candidates that you wish to rank, beginning with "1" and proceeding consecutively.
Elected and appointed Staff Council members will be announced by July 1.
You may learn more about the Staff Council, about the role elected members will play, and about the elections in general by visiting the Staff Council webpage. If you have further questions about this process, you may email the Staff Council at staffcouncil@wpi.edu.
Thank you for your participation in the electoral process.
