MSU-Senate 2019/2020

The Student Senate is a body of elected students that represent different faculties and interest groups around campus. When a student is elected to the Senate they become a Senator. Senate has a few functions. Firstly, the members of the executive must give officer reports for scrutiny. The policies that the union takes are also decided here. MSU senators can debate and mandate executive officers to undertake certain tasks.

If you would like to get involved in Senate there will be elections in March and October. Make sure to get yourself over to the front desk and collect your Nomination Form.
