GM Week

Every year, The Polytechnic produces a special GM Week issue that provides information about elections, the week’s festivities, and gives the opportunity for candidates for student government offices to present themselves to the student body. Inclusion in this special issue is completely voluntary, although we feel that it is a valuable and efficient way to reach a large number of voters, and we encourage all candidates to take advantage of it.

The special issue will be published online tentatively on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.

Dates and deadlines

• Grand Marshal, President of the Union, and Undergraduate President candidates will be invited to interview after completing a candidate questionnaire sent out on Wednesday, February 25.
• Candidate profiles and questionnaires must be received by Wednesday, March 4 at 10 am.
• Portraits will be taken by Poly photographers on the day of the candidate interview.

Late submissions may or may not be accepted at the discretion of the Poly Editorial Board. For any questions, contact us at poly@rpi.edu or ping us on our discord.
