The Undergraduate Assembly elected College sophomore Claire Choi as its new secretary for the 2008-2009 executive board last night. Choi won in a vote of nine to eight against College sophomore Benny Laitman.
"I hope we can reach out and make more in-person efforts for publicity," said Choi, who added that she was looking forward to forming both a communications and a social committee as well as issuing UA press releases.
The other members of the executive board were elected last Tuesday night. The secretary position was not filled at that time because no one was running. The body agreed to postpone elections until last night to give candidates a chance to step forward.
The other members of the executive board are Wharton and College junior Wilson Tong, chairman; College junior Jay Patel, executive vice chairman; College sophomore Zac Byer, vice chairman for external affairs; and Wharton junior Ben Coulter, treasurer.
