Pitzer Student Senate election annual voter turnout increases by almost 300%
On Saturday, April 15, the results of Pitzer College’s Senate election were published via email, announcing the student body’s representatives for the 2023-2024 academic year.
Lola Latan PZ ’25 is the executive branch’s new vice president of diversity. Latan described her priority goal to “normalize the experiences of the vast BIPOC, neurodivergent student population on campus” by creating programs that make the transition to college more manageable.
“[As a first-year,] I wish I [had known] what PERMs were, how to seek academic accommodations [and] how to plan out my tuition payments so I don’t get locked out of registration…” Latan said, “I plan on increasing preparedness for future classes so they know more about what to expect for the next four years.”
409 students voted in this year’s election, resulting in a 34.7 percent turnout — almost four times last year’s turnout of about 9.8 percent.
