By DONOVAN HARRELL

The results for the Senate Council elections are in.

Each officer position ran uncontested this year, but there are a few changes to Senate leadership and Faculty Assembly.

Chris Bonneau will remain president, while David Salcido, a research assistant professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine, will become vice president. Gosia Fort, head of digital resources development at the Health Sciences Library System, will become secretary.

Senate officers serve a one year-term and can serve for three consecutive years. Faculty Assembly and committee seats have a three-year term. The Faculty Assembly positions are split between different schools. Full-time faculty are eligible to vote for candidates in their respective academic units
