ASUA Senate

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.
