Who Are We?

Our Core Values

Christ-Centered

Everything we do at Student Senate—our weekly meetings, brainstorming projects, and more—all comes back to our commitment to be agents of Christ’s renewal on this Earth.
Student-Focused

The projects we create, policies we adapt, and programs we support are all propelled by student opinion. We assess student input with surveys, town hall events, and meeting with students one-on-one.
Results-Oriented

Time is of the essence — and we’re not here to waste it. In a student organization that revolves around the busyness of college life, we dedicate our efforts into projects that are time-bound and attainable.
Transparent Communication

At Student Senate, we believe that students deserve to know what we are doing. That’s why we keep students updated via social media, town halls, and more.

About Student Senate

Student Senate was founded in 1918 as a group of students who could advocate for their fellow classmates. Our team is composed of 19 senators who communicate with their fellow classmates about needs, wants, and passions in our community. We work on projects throughout the year to address these improvements and come up with creative solutions to improve every student’s college experience.

Hi! I am a senior studying Biochemistry and Urban Studies on the premed track, and I’ve had the privilege of serving as student body president! This year we are focused on being good representatives of the student body to strengthen the connection between students and administration. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make your student experience better!
