Led by the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, the Students’ Association Senate is comprised of 18 student Senators. Each class is represented by three Class Senators (except for the freshman class, which is represented by four). Additionally, five Senators are elected by the student body at-large.
The Senate makes legislative and administrative decisions that enhance student life, from the creation, budgeting and oversight of student groups, to housing and dining hall policies and safety. Working closely with the Students’ Association President, Vice President, and Executive Aides, Senators work daily to serve as the link between the student body and University administrators, the Board of Trustees, and various University departments.
Senate meetings are held on Monday nights at 9:00pm in the Gowen Room of Wilson Commons. All Senate meetings are open to the public, and students are encouraged to attend meetings and express concerns during Open Forum.
The Senate is comprised of the Projects & Services, Communications & Public Relations, Policy & Review, and Elections committees.
