Student Senate

Student Senate is the primary advocate for students on campus with 110 senators and 11 executive staff members work together to allocate about $22 million in student fees in ways that best serve students. It also represents the KU student voice within University, State, and National Governance, working to address and develop policy in students' best interests.
