There are five committees on Student Senate: Appropriations, Student Affairs, Faculty & Academic Affairs, Campus & Community Relations, and Technology.  There are also two governing boards: Executive Board and Ethics Board.


Executive Board

The Executive Board is made up of the President, the Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and the chairs of each standing committee. Executive Board acts as a policy and long-range planning board for the Senate, and assists the President in duties of his or her office and coordinating activities with the Senate. Executive Board is sometimes referred to as "Cabinet" because of the latter duty. 


Appropriations Committee

The Appropriations Committee makes allocations of the Student Activity Fee (SAF) to campus organizations. Each year, the SAF generates a certain amount for the Appropriations Committee to distribute. Appropriations also works with issues relating to campus organizations and is responsible for establishing a budget for the Senate.


Student Affairs Committee

The Student Affairs Committee is responsible for making appointments to various institutional committees and monitoring and making recommendations to administrative departments whenever deemed necessary. The Student Affairs Committee is often involved in working with the administration, specifically the Division of Student Affairs, to make policies and programs that the student body need.


Faculty & Academic Affairs Committee

The Faculty & Academic Affairs Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on tenure and interim reviews of the faculty, and is also responsible for making general recommendations about academic policies and procedures, and awarding the Students Choice Award. The award is given to one faculty member who has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to the needs and concerns of the student body.


Campus & Community Relations Committee

The Campus & Community Relations Committee is responsible for distributing public relations material to the campus about Senate issues and campus and community events, and also conducts the first-year elections in the Fall and the general Senate election in the Spring. 


Technology Committee

The Technology Committee is charged with addressing student concerns with regards to technology on campus and deals with Information Technology, Facilities, and other arms of the College to work on student technology issues.


Ethics Board

The Ethics Board is compromised of five members elected at the transitional senate meeting of each academic year, at least three of which must be current Senate members.  The Ethics Board will convene on an as-needed basis and acts as the arm of judicial review for Senate in all matters concerning Constitutional and procedural rules.
