Members of Zeta Phi Beta sorority, Mungano and Student Senate have been working together throughout the past month to coordinate events to go along with the upcoming presidential election.
On Monday, they hosted a mock election on Hartley Plaza to decide who would win the election if it were solely up to the Baker community. Students could stop by the tent throughout the day to cast their vote.

Mungano President JaNay Adgers said she was pleased with the number of students who voiced their opinion.
“We almost ran out of ballots, so that was a good thing,” Adgers said. “I was kind of disappointed in the number of people that didn’t want to, that just kind of ignored us and walked right past us like we weren’t talking to them. That did kind of disappointed me a little bit, but I feel like that is reflective of America, you know, you always have those who want to vote and those who don’t.”
The mock election was not just for students, as faculty, staff and administration also took part by casting their votes.
