Getting Involved

Senate Committees are an opportunity for the student body to get involved in Student Government without maintaining specific positions. They can work in projects and events under the direction of their corresponding Senator.

Please note that joining these committees does not render you a Senator but allows you to work on projects regarding the group you choose. You will be expected to attend both Senate and Committee meetings.

Student Government elections occur in the Fall and Spring of each academic year according to a schedule proposed by the Elections Board Chair and approved by the Senate. Information will be shared by the Director of Elections in the Fall and Spring. 

Morganton: In the Fall, six members of the Junior class are elected Junior Senators.

During the Spring election cycle, the junior class (on each respective campus) elects executive officers which include the Student Body President and Student Body Treasurer, followed by seven Senior Senators. Once elected, Senior Senators nominate and elect a Senate President from within the Senate.
