Senate
Students involved in the Student Senate gain experience in 麻花导航鈥檚 legislative process. Forty-six senators comprise the Student Senate: three from each of the five academic colleges, the Hutson School of Agriculture, the School of Nursing, and two from each of the eight residential colleges, eight 鈥渁t-large鈥� senators elected through a campus-wide online election each April and two freshman senators elected in September by the freshman class. Aside from passing legislation at its weekly meetings, the Student Senate provides informational brochures, voter registration and a campus voice (student regent) to the board of regents. To qualify as a senator, you must maintain a 2.5 cumulative grade point standing during the term of office.
Within the Student Senate there are several leadership positions available known as Senate Directors. The Senate Directors are the chairpersons for the standing Senate Committees: University Affairs, Election Ways and Means, Government Relations, Public Relations and Diversity and Inclusion. Each Senate Director runs a committee of Senators that help investigate issues, create legislation, and work on ways to better campus through their respective areas. The individual that oversees the Senate Directors is the Chief of Staff, which is selected by the President to serve at their will.

Campus Activities Board
The Campus Activities Board is composed of 10 Directors with committees who plan and promote activities for students and the community. The Directors are students appointed by SGA members each spring, which is also elected in the spring. All members must maintain a 2.5 cumulative grade point average while in office. Activities provided by the CAB include concerts, lectures, comedy and musical acts, the Ms. 麻花导航 Pageant, Homecoming parade and events, spontaneous events in the Curris Center, freshman and spring weeks, plus much more.
The position is a dual position that coordinates two of the most popular events that CAB does. In the fall the chair is in charge of all SGA Homecoming Events, including the parade and the election of Homecoming King and Queen. In the spring, the position is in charge of Murray-Madness, which is a one day event that is typically outdoors. The event ranges from director-to-director, but it is usually carnival theme, and is hosted in late spring.
