The Tufts University Union (TCU) Senate last night held in-house elections for the body's Executive Board, Allocations Board (ALBO) and committee chairs for next year.
Rising senior and recently elected TCU President Tomas Garcia will lead the executive board, which consists of the vice president, treasurer, historian, parliamentarian and associate treasurer.
Rising junior Wyatt Cadley will serve as vice president, alongside rising senior Matt Schuman as treasurer and rising sophomore Joe Donenfeld as historian and student outreach chair. Rising senior John Peter Kaytrosh was elected parliamentarian and rising sophomore Christie Maciejewski associate treasurer.
Cadley said he looks forward to helping lead a body dedicated to implementing the goals Garcia outlined in his campaign last month.
"Tomas was overwhelmingly elected last week on a platform calling for improved facilities, improved Senate outreach and improved university pride," Cadley said. "As Vice President, I plan on embracing this platform as well as improving Senate's overall image."
The election also finalized the chairs for its committees. Rising senior Jonathan Danzig will chair the Administration and Policy Committee, rising junior Shawyoun Shaidani will chair the Education Committee and rising junior Jeremy Zelinger will chair the Services Committee.
Rising sophomore Joe Thibodeau was elected the Diversity and Community Affairs (DCA) Officer, a position created in a referendum vote this fall to manage diversity issues on campus.
"We have a really strong batch of incoming committee chairs," Cadley said.
The body filled the six open spots on the ALBO, the board in charge of distributing the Student Activities Fee and budgeting for student groups. Schuman will oversee the board, which will next year comprise Maciejewski, Danzig and Kaytrosh, along with rising juniors Yulia Korovikov and Ard Ardalan and rising senior Tim Lesinski.
The body voted Donenfeld and Lesinski to represent the Senate at the Boston Intercollegiate Leadership Council, a network of area college and university student governments.
