Ava Brown ’26 and Will Berriman ’26 were elected president and vice president of the Associated Students of Stanford University (ASSU), alongside a new group of Undergraduate Senate (UGS) and Graduate Student Council (GSC) senators Monday.

Candidates elected in the 2025 election will serve their positions for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Out of the 17,014 total ballots distributed by the ASSU Elections Commission, students cast 3,027 ballots across undergraduate and graduate schools, leading to a 17.79% voter turnout (33.56% and 5.81%, respectively). Last year, 33.07% percent of students voted.

All grants — 22 joint annual grants, 31 GSC annual grants and 166 UGS annual grants — were approved by a simple majority vote.

Executives

Brown and Berriman collected 1,276 votes, or 53.34% of the vote, beating out the only other candidate slate, Artem Arzyn ’25 M.S. ’25 and Raina Talwar Bhatia ’25 M.S. ’26, who gathered 42.52% of the vote. Executive slate and UGS co-chairs Ivy Chen ’26 M.A. ’27 and Gordon Allen ’26 did not appear on the ballot after Allen withdrew from the race last Wednesday.

Brown and Berriman’s campaign, “Your Friendly Neighborhood Cardinal,” focused on community-centered programming and policy initiatives.

All undergraduate and graduate students were eligible to vote for ASSU executives.

Undergraduate Senate

Fifteen students were elected from a 30-candidate race for the 27th Undergraduate Senate. Princess Ochweri ’27, Celeste Vargas ’27 and David Sengthay ’26 MA ’26 earned the most votes. Four of the fifteen elected students are incumbents: Vargas, Sengthay, Jared Hammerstrom ’27 and Yoanna Hoskins ’27. Dan Kubota ’27 won the last UGS seat with 350 votes, beating out Hoyoon Song ’28 in a tie due to a more evenly distributed vote total across class years.

All undergraduate students were eligible to vote.

Class Presidents

Students voted according to their class year in the class presidential elections.

SPARK won the race for sophomore class president, earning 50.66% of the final vote share over second-place candidate AMP and third-place candidate FUSE. SPARK’s candidate slate consists of Anura Bracey ’28, Sam Chen ’28, Jasper Karlson ’28, Angela Li ’28 and Asad Gilani ’28. Their platform promised to “make YOUR voice heard and to bring real, tangible change to our campus.”

In the race for junior class president, PULSE won re-election with 84.29% of the vote, running uncontested. The slate includes Nika Farokhzad ’27, Sofia Irlando ’27, Roome Becker ’27, Madhav Prakash ’27, Justin Yang ’27 and Adam Rourke ’27. Their platform emphasized the slate’s accomplishments over the last year including hosting a formal at The Cantor, handing out pre-midterm snacks in Green Library and hosting sophomore nights at On Call cafe.

LIFT won re-election for senior class president, gathering 56.81% of the final vote share above second-place candidate PRIME and third-place candidate IGNITE. The slate consists of Yara Elian ’26, Rishi Jain ’26, Gabby Edelin ’26 and Pierre Dagsi ’26. Their platform promised to host “Senior Nights,” plan “alumni referral events and resume workshops” and bring Michelle Obama to campus to speak at graduation.

Aili McGregor ’26 and Matthew Guck ’26, who served on LIFT this year, were not included on the presidential ballot due to Senior Class President slates being limited to four members. Edelin wrote in a message to The Daily that McGregor and Guck will continue to work on the team next year on behalf of LIFT, as they appeal to expand the slate number.

“Matthew and Aili’s unwavering commitment to representation and service will continue throughout our Senior year just as it has these last three years,” she wrote. “It has always been LIFT’s intention to expand the Senior Class government to allow all six of us to serve as official Senior Class Presidents.”

Graduate Student Council

Graduate students voted four at-large Graduate Student Council members into office: third-year Ph.D. student in physics Sephora Ruppert, fifth-year Ph.D. student in physics Rory O’Dwyer, third-year MLA student Elena Vasilache, who was an editor for The Daily, and third-year Ph.D. student in math Andy Yin. Two at-large seats remain vacant, with a 26-way tie for the seats.

The remaining nine council members are voted by graduate schools and disciplines.

Third-year Ph.D. student in sociology Lorena Aviles Trujillo will represent the School of Humanities and Sciences.

The seat for the Doerr School of Sustainability remains vacant, with a seven-way tie, as well as one School of Engineering seat, with a three-way tie. Elected members break ties “following at least two minutes for each such candidate to provide a statement to the GSC and two minutes for questions of that candidate.”
