Senate is a group of elected individuals who run for election in their respective housing districts. Senators meet once a week throughout the year to present, debate and vote on proposals, bills and resolutions that come before the body. Besides Executive Council, Senate is in charge of overseeing the spending of a large portion of student fees to fund worthwhile events and activities proposed by clubs and other student organizations. Senate is also responsible for communicating the wants and needs of the student body to other student leaders. Senate elections are held during the first weeks of fall term every year.
