Your Student Senate sits on over 50 external and internal committees, making sure your voice is heard. We have a say everywhere a decision is made, whether it's the food in the cafeteria, what classes will be offered, whether to suspend or expel a student, or the future planning of the college. So speak to us. Tell us what you want. Or join the Senate yourself, and see just what kind of an impact you can have.
