Legislative Branch

The Legislative Branch of the student government consists of the Senate President, chair of the Senate meetings, and twenty-five Senators from all nine colleges, with each college receiving proportional representation based on each year's enrollment. The Senators are the official representatives of each of their colleges and vote on various bills and funding proposals throughout the year as well as engage the members of their colleges through email, surveys, and in-person mixers.

The Senate also consists of four standing committees; the Internal Affairs Committee, the University Initiatives Committee, the Scholarships and Grants Committee, and the Ways and Means Committee.

Senate elections take place each fall semester and Senate meetings occur every Monday classes are in session, starting at 6 p.m. in the Student Union room 208 A/B/C.
