[Folda] Important - Elections of Faculty Head and Deputy Head - Includes Survey!

[Deirdre Clark]

Good evening!

At yesterday's Faculty of Earth Sciences meeting, elections were officially
opened for Head and Deputy Head. Four people have formally offered to be
either head or deputy head via e-mail, though technically one can vote for
anyone who is eligible. This is a two year term that begins in June 2016.
The current head and deputy head are Þorvaldur Þórðarson and Áslaug
Geirsdóttir, who can formally decline to continue for another term.


(These elections are not to be confused with the Institute of Earth
Sciences, which works in close conjunction with the Faculty, especially in
research. Their elections will also be held soon. Current chairman is
Freysteinn. The faculty head, deputy head and a boardmember from the
Faculty work with the chairman and two other boardmembers from the
Institute and make up a joint council that discusses joint issues.)


There are a total of 5 student representatives who have voting rights, with
1 for undergraduate and 4 for graduate (though ideally in the future 2 and
3, respectively). We decided that it would be best to take an anonymous
survey from the graduate students on who we should vote for.

I have attached a PDF document of the emails from the 4 people who put
their names forward: Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson (head), Kristín Vala
Ragnarsdóttir (head), Andri Stefánsson (deputy head) and Steffen Mischke
(deputy head). Please read through to help make your decision.

Click HERE <http://goo.gl/forms/28CpSc1oIG> to fill out a small form on who
you would think would be best. Electronic voting is open until noon on
Monday 7 March so we would appreciate your input by Sunday!

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments.
