Appointed student positions include judicial board membership as well as membership on various campus and Board of Trustees committees. Responsibilities of those serving on committees include keeping the student body informed of administrative decisions. Students can work with members of the faculty and administration on a variety of campus committees. Do not hesitate to run for senate, volunteer for committee appointments, ask questions, generate ideas, or contact your elected officers.
Student government can only be effective with the active participation and input of many students.
Executive Council meets weekly to plan and implement changes that will benefit the student body. Senators are elected to represent each residence hall as well as students living off campus. Elections for the 21 senator positions are held the third week of fall semester and the third week of winter term. All students are encouraged to run for senate offices. Senators work to enact legislation that reflect the needs of the student body.
