Students will have an opportunity to learn the qualifications and positions of candidates running for the Slippery Rock Student Government Association (SRSGA) executive board this Wednesday during an online forum.
The candidate forum, hosted by The Rocket and WSRU-TV, will be live streamed on March 31 at 12:30 p.m. on WSRU-TV’s YouTube channel.

Candidates will answer questions from hosts Mac Bell and Madison Williams that range from why they are running for the position to their plans for the upcoming semester. With time permitting, the candidates will also answer questions either submitted to The Rocket or entered in the live stream chat.
Questions can be submitted to The Rocket’s Assistant News Editor Joe Wells at jcw1013@sru.edu.
