What is Student Senate?
The Student Senate is responsible for appropriating activity fees, chartering clubs and organizations, and acting on behalf of the Student Association's best interest. In short, the Student Senate is your representative voice on campus. You are strongly encouraged to attend Senate meetings and/or bring your concerns to the attention of any Senate members.
All students (full & part-time) who register for classes pay a mandatory student activity
fee. When you pay your activity fee, you automatically become a member of the Student
Association.
As a member, you have the right to run for or elect representatives to the governing
body of the Student Association, the Student Senate.
