We closed the polls for the 2026 GSU Elections this week, and we couldn’t be prouder. 7,299 students, 24% of the University population, came out to vote – a testament to the passion of our Greenwich community. Every single vote mattered, and we’re so grateful to each and every one of you who took the time to make your voice heard. 

Today, we’re excited to announce your new GSU Officer Team and celebrate the hard work of all our candidates, volunteers, and, of course, YOU – the students who make GSU what it is.
