Undergraduate Student Senate

Student Senate is a subcommittee of the Student Association focused on enacting resolutions concerning issues of importance to the undergraduate student body. It creates a platform for students to voice concerns relating to the college and strives to educate, advocate, and resolve the needs and issues surrounding students on campus.

General Assembly meetings are held every Tuesday at 8 PM in the MacVittie College Union’s Hunt Room. All are welcome to attend.
