ROC election cancelled

An election for the Residents on Campus organization originally scheduled for Wednesday has been canceled. Dean Wilbur, a second-year electrical engineering and technology major, will assume the position of president, as former candidate Adam Jones dropped out of the race. Jones, who will assume the position of vice president of financial affairs, said he dropped out after he realized Wilbur was serious about the race.

Wilbur will replace current ROC president Scott Reynolds, a fourth-year electrical engineering and technology major, in April.

Nicole Rozanski will remain in her post as vice president of ROC, as she was unopposed in the election.

Wilbur said as president he hopes to make ROC’s name more visible to residents and let them know funding is available to groups for various events.

“I want to make ROC meetings more effective and have groups ask us for money,” Wilbur said. “Last night alone we handed out a couple of thousand dollars.”

Wilbur said his approachable personality will help him succeed as ROC president.

“What good is a ROC representative or president if you can’t approach them and ask them anything?” Wilbur asked.
