Open Positions
The most common way students get involved in Student Senate is by running with coalitions during Spring elections each year. In these elections, University of Kansas students vote for their preferred student government candidates for the next academic year.
Standing Committees
The committees - Finance, Social Justice, and Student Rights and Affairs - are open to all University of Kansas students. Voting rights are guaranteed at the first meeting of the semester, or if a student attends two consecutive meetings. To join a committee, just attend one of their meetings! Also, make sure to join our Microsoft Teams page, as it is where Student Senate Documents are posted.
