Friday is the last day to vote for the Class of 2007 young alumni trustee.

Christina Barnes, student alumni programming coordinator, said voting is open to current juniors and seniors and 2006 graduates. The online election opened Monday and will close Friday.

The candidates up for election are seniors Andrew Wilson, Emilie Carroll and Jay Salato. The chosen candidate will serve a four-year term.

The finalists were either self-nominated or nominated by another student, Barnes said.

"Then the nominating committee, comprised of 20 juniors and representatives of the Class of 2006, reviewed the applicants and narrowed the list down to three candidates," she said.

Barnes said the young alumni trustee will serve on the Board of Trust to provide insight on university life as a representative of the recent graduating class.

"The young alumni trustee is a beyond-valuable position to the Board of Trust," Barnes said. "They are the voice of Vanderbilt students and young alumni, bringing the heartbeat of campus and student issues to the Board of Trust. Theirs is the unique perspective of a recent graduate - one still closely connected to campus life, while embarking upon the new adventure of life as a Vanderbilt alumnus."
