The Student Senate is composed of 42 Senator positions, including 6 Freshman Senators, a Class Council for each class year (each with a Chair and Vice Chair); 5 sub-government representatives; 2 communication aides; and a 7 person Executive Board which leads the organization. SGA Senators also make up our 6 internal committees, which include: Diversity and Inclusion, Student Life, Clubs and Organizations, Academic Affairs, Health and Safety, and Facilities Committees. Each internal committee is led by a Senator who is elected to serve as Chair and also serves in the President’s Cabinet.
