Student Senate

Your Voice. Your Leadership.

The purpose of the Student Senate is to represent the students in all matters of concern to the student body and to serve as a liaison between the students, faculty, staff and administration. It is actively involved in sponsoring a variety of social activities and convocations. Elections to the Senate take place every fall and spring.

Student Senate is always looking for student input. If you have any concerns, suggestions, or questions please contact the Student Body President at any time. If you would like to submit an anonymous concern, please use this Voice Your Campus Concerns form. We will address your concern in a timely manner and keep you posted on any developments. Thank you.

Minutes from meetings can be found on the Student Senate bulletin board in Old Main. Meeting recaps and monthly updates can also be found on our Instagram page!
