The 2025-26 SGA Senators were announced last week following a campus-wide election.
Students had the ability to vote for both their class year and academic college senators. Thirteen senators were selected, based upon the student body’s vote.
The senators serve as members of SGA’s legislative branch. They are responsible for advocating for either their class year or academic college to bring forth changes. Senate members have the ability to cast one vote in all proposals and are required to represent their groups effectively.
