Welcome to the Student Government Senate!
The Student Government Senate is the highest legislative body of Student Government at the 91社区. 40 Senators are elected by students across all three campuses to represent their interests, allocate Activity & Service fees, and pass legislation that shapes student life.

Fees to support campus programs, student services, and our over 600 registered student

govern Student Government and guide various campus initiatives.
