This has been a difficult several weeks for the two of us, and now that a final decision has been made, Emily and I would like to thank the student body of Saint Mary's for their concern about our school. The pure fact that a large number of our peers expressed their interest throughout the election process shows your concern.

The frustation could have led to apathy but instead further energized the student body. As a community, you have made your opinions and pride known. We encourage you to continue this involvement and to let your voices be heard across campus this year and next.

You have been the driving force behind us, and we thank you for showing pride and regard for your peers and school. We appreciate you and are proud to be a part of the Saint Mary's College student body.
