Legislative Branch

The Legislative Branch (or Student Body Senate) is composed of sixty-six student leaders who are elected by the student body each year. Our Senate works solely with students and the many student organizations on our campus to provide them with the funds necessary for travel, conference registration, event planning, and whatever other expenses that may arise and cause a financial burden on a student, through several committees. They also work on initiatives to better the student experience for their respective colleges and the campus at-large.

If you have any concerns or ideas regarding your rights as a student, please contact us and we’ll be sure to take care of it. For more information on how the Senate works, please see the Senate Rules.

Senate Meetings during the Fall and Spring Semesters are Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. in the Key West Ballroom. They are also available at that time through LiveStream.

Meetings are open to everyone. In fact, at the beginning of every meeting, we hold a “Public Forum” during which ANY student is welcome to voice their concerns directly to the Senate! So if you’re interested in what goes on behind the scenes of SGA, feel free to stop by.

If you are looking for information on the Senate Committee meetings, which are separate from regular Senate meetings, please see the Senate Committees page.
