Student Senate

The Student Senate is the representative body of the students of the University of Kansas. We advocate for students’ needs to the administration, faculty, staff, and to local, state, and federal authorities. Our mission is to enhance the learning experience in and out of the classroom, increase access and input in university policy decisions, and work to ensure that the University of Kansas listens to student advocacy.
