LU Hands Scott Garrett Election
- Created on Thursday, 05 November 2009 20:39
I love that I work at a school with influence. On Nov. 3, LU students (about 1,000) voted overwhelmingly to elect Scott Garrett over incumbant Shannon Valentine. Garrett pulled off the victory by just over 200 votes. LU cancelled classes and offered bus service to the polls for students on election day.
Our students made a great difference this week - voting for life and liberty. It makes me proud to work here. I am thankful to have a chancellor who realizes the responsibility of citizens to be a part of electing their leaders. That's why this country was started. My one disappointment from Tuesday, is that out of 3,200 eligible students, only about 1,000 are reported to have voted. I hope and pray that our young people will not need a drastic failure of government to realize the importance of their involvement.
