The University Senate will host elections for the following constituencies starting in mid-October (terms starting July 1, 2027):
Faculty Constituencies:
- College of Engineering (1 seat)
- School of Nursing (1 seat)
- Stamford Campus Faculty (1 seat)
- Waterbury Campus Faculty (1 seat)
- CLAS Faculty (6 seats total – 1 Humanities & Centers & Institutes | 3 Social Sciences | 2 Physical Sciences)
Staff Constituencies:
- Student Life & Enrollment Constituency (1 seat)
Elections for both Faculty at-Large (2 seats) and Staff at-Large (2 seats) Constituencies will be filled by elections during the Spring semester.
All faculty or staff who are eligible to vote in each respective constituency election will receive a nominating slate via email and voters will be asked to select their top nominees. Nominees may also be selected by petition via email to universitysenate@uconn.edu. Any petition must be endorsed by five (5) members of the constituency in support of a candidate and submitted before the nominating slate has closed.
The results of this nomination voting process will determine a shortened list of nominees to be sent out two weeks after the initial ballot on a voting slate. The results of the voting slate will determine the winner(s) for each election, and results will be published on the University Senate website. For further information, review the Senate Elections FAQ or reach out to universitysenate@uconn.edu with questions.
