Three Years Strong

Outgoing Lyndon Student Government Association president Nicholas Russo reacts with a smile after hearing that he was elected to replace graduating senior John Kleinhans as the student member of the Vermont State College Board of Trustees. In an 8-3 vote yesterday afternoon, members of the Vermont State Colleges Student Association chose Russo, a junior electronic journalism arts major, to represent the five state colleges. This is the third year in a row an LSC student has been elected to this position. Russo thanked everyone for their support and said he was excited to get to work. Russo ran against Dylan Giambatista, a junior at Johnson State, who was offered the position of vice-chair. “I think students, their role in this particular instance was to vote, and they voted, and the results speak.” Giambatista has not accepted the position as vice-chair, but plans to consider it. Russo will assume the position July 1.
