MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — Associated Students of Montana State University Billings announced the results of the 2017 student body senate election with Katelyn Focht announced as president-elect.

 

Of 4,145 registered students for the spring semester, ASMSUB reported that 236 students voting in this election- or 5.7 percent.

 

Focht, 22, said increased senate engagement and visibility is one of her goals for the 2017-2018 school year. She is optimistic the group can find ways to connect more with administration as well.

 

“I really want senators to go to events as a group,” she said.

 

The Billings native, who graduated from Skyview High School in 2013, has served on the senate since her second semester at MSUB.

This year she has worked as the organization’s student resolution officer.

 

“I’ve really enjoyed being involved with ASMSUB. It’s been a great opportunity to get more involved on campus and make friends,” Focht said.

 

In addition to releasing the names of the new president and vice president, nine University senators and a City College senator were elected as well.
