Senate

SAS Senate is composed of students that are appointed via an application process every fall. Representatives are confirmed and are subject to the approval of 2/3 of the SAS Board. The Senate is led by the Executive Vice President and hosts  BeHeard Forums  throughout the year. 

During the 2024-2025 year, the SAS Senate will continue various projects and brainstorm new initiatives. We have employed the Wellness Vending Machine project in collaboration with Scripps Advocates. We also created a large-scale resource guide, and are circulating the guide in the forms of a large posters and brochures. We also are revamping the Student Union in collaboration with the Community Building Chair and Students Organizations Commissioner!

Please contact Executive Vice President Anabhra Singh with questions about SAS Senate or topics for BeHeard forums.
