The University of South Carolina opened voting for student government elections Tuesday. <\/span>This year’s election is very diverse; it includes three black men and the opportunity to elect a female student body president for the first time in four years. Kathryn Stoudemire<\/a>, a junior majoring in journalism and political science at USC, is running for student body president.<\/p>\n \u201cI think something really neat about me is I\u2019m Greek, and so we\u2019ve actually never had a Greek female student body president,\u201d Stoudemire said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s been four years since we\u2019ve had a female student body president.\u201d<\/p>\n Others running for student body president include Thomas DiBona, West Russell and Taylor Wright<\/a>. Nick Hooks, a sophomore, is running for student body vice president.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m running on this idea of \u2018believe we can\u2019,\u201d Hooks said. \u201cBelieving that we can reach into the lives of our students and truly put forth changes that we can truly build.\u201d<\/p>\n Others running for student body vice president include Madi Carzon, Chase Cole<\/a> and Mills Hayes<\/a>. Emerson Odagis, a sophomore, is running to become the next student body treasurer.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s seeing the reactions on students\u2019 faces when they come up and talk to me, like \u2018hey, you actually have great ideas\u2019,\u201d Odagis said. \u201cThat\u2019s the biggest takeaway for me, that\u2019s basically why I\u2019m doing it, that\u2019s why I love to affect change and help other students.\u201d<\/p>\n Others running for student body treasurer include Wilfredo \u201cFredo\u201d Anderson and Eugene Suydam. Patrick Ellis and Aaron Greenberg are running for the university’s first-ever speaker of the student senate.<\/p>\n
