Five freshmen were voted in as class officers Tuesday at the Baker University Student Senate meeting.
Each student interested in running for a position had to get a petition signed by 15 men and 15 women in the freshman class, which earned he or she a spot on the ballot. After the ballot was filled, an election was held on Sept. 3 and 4 in the Harter Union lobby.
Lauren Thames was elected as president of the freshman class, Kyle Baum as vice president, Shelby Gitchel as secretary-treasurer and Katie Reed and Hannah Schaake earned spots as class representatives.
"I think they will show fantastic leadership and that they have already started by attending meetings. They've shown a lot of interest," Student Senate President Patti Greenbaum said. "I think it's a great group."<br/>&#160;
