The Associated Students of Madison announced the members of the 17th student council session Wednesday, after the student body voted April 12-14.
The election resulted in a small turnover from the 16th session, as several current members of ASM Student Council earned seats, including current Chair Tyler Junger, Vice Chair Tom Templeton and Student Services Finance Chair Brandon Williams.
Madison People Organizing for Wisconsin Educational Rights, a slate of ASM candidates who organized to address several issues relating to higher education, had 10 members elected out of three open positions to next year's student council, according to MPOWER organizer Maxwell Love.
""This sends a statement that students care about increased transparency and student issues,"" he said.
Love said he hopes the members of MPOWER can increase the student input next year on these issues, such as higher education costs and campus safety.
Members of the 17th session will meet May 1 to vote for the ASM chair, vice chair and secretary.
