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.

Student Councils

The councils - Finance, Community Affairs, 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 in the same council. To join a council, just attend one of their meetings! Also, make sure to join our Microsoft Teams page, as it is where Student Senate Documents are posted.
