Election Process + Executive Board Positions Overview

Election Timeline

Blueprint's elections are held in the Spring of each academic year. As a Registered Student Organization (RSO), we must follow the election processes specified by Undergraduate Student Life. For Spring 2025 the steps and corresponding dates are:

  1. Nominations | March 3rd – March 17th 
    • On March 3rd we will release a form allowing students to nominate themselves or another student for specific positions on the E-Board
  2. Nomination Verification | March 17th – March 21st 

    • Undergraduate Student Life will verify the nominee GPAs and provide any comments by March 22. 

    • A 2.5 cumulative GPA is required of all student organization leaders. 
    • All leaders must be an undergraduate student in Fall 2025. 
  3. Elections | March 23rd – April 4th
    • Blueprint elections for Spring 2025 are scheduled tentatively for Thursday, March 27th at 9:15 P.M
    • Following the elections, the new E-Board will be effective immediately, however, the old E-Board will help with the transition process

Serving on the Executive Board requires significant time and commitment, making it challenging to balance both E-Board responsibilities and active participation in a Non-Profit Project Team. Therefore, if you are elected to an E-Board position while also being part of a Non-Profit Project Team, we ask that you choose between the two roles to ensure full dedication—unless no other member is available to fill the project team role.

Eligibility to vote in elections requires attendance at a minimum of two General Body Meetings (GBMs), Tech Team Meetings, or Design Team Meetings within the past academic year. Alternatively, members actively participating in a Non-Profit Project Team—defined as attending more than 50% of team meetings and making meaningful contributions —are also eligible to vote.
