Junior Gavin Listro won election as president of the class of 2025, following a tie-breaking vote.

Class of 2025 students were asked to vote a second time online through the software Qualtrics to break the tie between Listro and junior Nathan Stanish. Students also broke a tie for secretary, with junior Laura Luke defeating junior Josiah Jagoda.

Students also elected juniors Noah Schmidt as vice president, Matthew Byrne as treasurer, and Jack Cote as social chair.

The outgoing class officers announced the winners at the Legacy Dinner April 7.

“I want to make sure senior year is good for all of us,” Listro said. “I feel like we spend a lot of time rushing in the first couple of years of school and now I want to help us all slow down and enjoy the last year we have together before we all separate.”

Listro said the class of 2025 can slow down by having senior events that prioritize community and conversation with good food and lots of drinks.

“I’m honored to have been chosen as our class treasurer, and I’m excited to get to serve the class as best I can,” Byrne said. “Alongside our great team, I will make sure to spend our money wisely to bring us the best possible events.”

Byrne said he will attend the final student federation meeting April 18 to request more funding to compensate for inflation over the last seven years. According to Byrne, this will ideally give the class of 2025 an edge over the last few classes in terms of spending power.

Schmidt said he is honored his classmates elected him as vice president. 

“I am most excited to work alongside Gavin, Laura, Matt, and Jack to bring our class together and make this next year a memorable one for all of the seniors,” Schmidt said.

Helping choose the class of 2025’s commencement speaker is the part of Schmidt’s role he said he’s most looking forward to.

Listro said it’s going to be hard making everyone happy when it comes to the commencement speaker, but he hopes the class officers can find a speaker who has something to offer for all 2025 graduates. 

“I’m already taking suggestions, along with suggestions for a senior class gift, as long as it doesn’t mean losing more green space,” Listro said.

Luke said ​​she looks forward to working with the other class officers and planning fun events with a class of 2025 flair. 

“Keep an eye on your inbox for all the exciting things coming up,” Luke said. “Cheers to senior year.”

Cote said his background working on the Student Activities Board and his digital media experience provides him with a variety of ways to serve the class of 2025. 

“During my time at SAB, I was involved in the brainstorming and execution for nearly all events that we put on, and I think that will certainly help in coming up with and hosting creative events for our class,” Cote said. 

Cote said he also wants to elevate the seniors’ experience by providing recap photos and videos for each event. 

“The current senior class president, Joseph Perez, gave job descriptions for each position at the legacy dinner, and I can certainly promise I will fulfill the role of ‘providing alcohol at senior class events,’” Cote said.
