Student Trustee Election

Want to represent your peers as the face of the Rend Lake College student body? RLC’s Student Trustee represents the student body on the RLC Board of Trustees. The trustee attends RLC board meetings each month and has an advisory vote on all action items. It’s a great experience for someone motivated to get involved in a service role.

Interested in running for the office? Here is what you will need to get started, all of which is available in a candidate packet that can be picked up at Academic Advisement in the Administration Building:

1. Petition — this must include 50 or more signatures of students, must be properly filled in, signed and notarized.
2. Statement of Candidacy — this must be properly filled in, signed and notarized.
3. Statement of Economic Interest — this must be completed and turned in to the Student Services Office. They will get the statement filed at the County Clerk’s Office for you and attach the receipt to your Petition and Statement of Candidacy.
