This organization is made up of 12 students elected by campus-wide referendum.  Four sophomores are elected annually during the spring semester and four freshmen are elected at the beginning of the fall semester. Each of the Centers have one representative on the Student Senate.   The Student Trustee is a member of the Student Senate as well as the College’s Board of Trustees.  The Student Senate meets regularly and on occasion is called into special session.  To be eligible to serve, a student must:
