Student Senate

What is Student Senate?

Student Senate is a student governing body for the undergraduate student population whose primary role is to be the voice among undergraduate students and serve as the link between administration and the undergraduate student body.

At UJ, Student Senate’s goal is to promote a community of mutual support that seeks respect, cooperation, understanding and goodwill between administration, faculty, staff, and students. At the same time, they seek to establish a measure of self-government deeply rooted in the ideals of service.

By becoming a member of Student Senate, you can make a difference on campus, while developing leadership skills and growing your understanding of civic responsibilities.
