Student Senate president Jarrett Martus announced Friday that executive vice president John Way had resigned from the Student Senate cabinet, electing cabinet member Alexandra “Ali” Zimmer to serve in his place.

Zimmer said Way resigned of his own free will, feeling that he was not able to devote the amount of time required for his position. Way will continue to serve as a Student Senate cabinet member despite the resignation.

“[Way] has been more than willing to help with the transition, so I think it should be pretty smooth, ideally,” Zimmer said. “We’re looking forward to the elections ahead.”

Martus said he has faith in Zimmer’s abilities and has watched her successfully chair the President’s Ball subcommittee for the past three years.

“It’s the end of the year, so we’ll be wrapping up a lot of things; and I think she’ll be very good at that,” Martus said. “I’m excited to be working with her and to be finishing up a successful rest of the year.”
