<\/p>\n…and we have a new Mini-Brain. Or two.<\/p>\n
On the final day of Shawn and Amy’s term as Mini- and Nano-Brain, we held our first election since the inaugural Mini-Brain vote in December. Students stood to nominate peers whom they felt had actively demonstrated positive leadership qualities over the past several weeks. This process produced a slate of nine candidates.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The electors agonized over their choices, some spending upwards of two minutes in the voting booth, weighing up their options while imagining the future under a new leader.<\/p>\n
Although all candidates received multiple votes, the final tally resulted in a three-way tie between Anika, Jayee, and Yoshin, forcing us into a run-off vote.<\/p>\n
The race continued to be close, with only one vote separating candidates – so close, in fact, that even the run-off resulted in a tie.<\/p>\n
Shawn has promised a peaceful transference of power and will meet with the new Mini-Brains on Monday to discuss policy and procedure and to hand over the reins.<\/p>\n
In the meanwhile, welcome your new co-Mini-Brains. At the risk of sounding greedy, why have one when you can have two?<\/p>\n
