Kourtney Thompson

Chief Justice

I am honored to serve as Chief Justice this year! I am a senior majoring in Political Science with minors in Communication, Legal Studies, and Criminology. I am passionate about free and fair elections on this campus and in our country. This is my third year serving on Judicial! Before serving this role I was a member of Razorback Action Group and the Secretary of the Political Honor Society Pi Sigma Alpha. I am also a member of Chi Omega and the All University Conduct Board. During my time as Chief Justice, I hope to promote equity and integrity in all elections. I have such an amazing team of Justices this year and we will continue to ensure a fair election process and be resources for any student looking to run in any of our elections. I am always open to new ideas and ways we can better improve our election process so please do not hesitate to reach out with any idea or concern you may have! Don’t forget to VOTE at vote.uark.edu!
