The Students’ Association Senate is led by the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, and it is comprised of 18 Senators. Each class is represented by three Class representatives, except the Freshman class, which has four representatives. Additionally, five Senators are elected by the student body at-large. The Senate is charged with making and formalizing decisions that enhance student life, from the creation, budgeting, and oversight of student groups, to housing and dining hall policies and safety.
There are also five Senate Standing Committees, which work closely with the SA President to enact initiatives of the current administration’s agenda. They are: Appropriations, Projects & Services, Communications & Public Relations, Policy & Review, and Elections. Each committee is made up of Senators, Coordinators, and Aides who work with each department and take the lead on various projects.
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.
