Every
May, ten senators are inaugurated to serve a one year term. Each
one of the senators
is elected at large to represent the 32,000+ students at the
University.
Each member is self determinate and throughout the year they
work to complete the issues they campaigned on. They determine
their own course of action and are responsible to their constituents.
General objectives are to take in as much student input as
they can muster, using whatever creative means they can, and
to accomplish their goals in the year that they are in office.
These issues range from campus safety to academic advising.
Each member is allocated a special projects fund with which
to put on programs.
Members
typically work together on some issues and alone on others. Senators
also take on Senate Aides to assist them in logistical and other
aspects of their tasks. Senate members also will serve on several
committees across the campus to represent their constituents
on the administration level. Faculty senate, Academic Integrity
Committee and Parking and Transportation are just a few issues
worked upon. The committees that a senator servers on will typically
conform to the issues that they will be working on.
