Initiatives Committee

The Student Senate handles student concerns, questions and comments regarding almost anything on campus. No issue is too small or too large for us to attempt to resolve. Most student concerns are funneled to the Senate Initiatives Committee, which is chaired by the Senate Vice President. From there, Senators and student committee members work directly with the appropriate administrators or All-College Committees to address the issues that are presented.

To file a concern, question or comment about any of the areas listed below, email us directly, email Senate Vice President Will Nelligan, visit an outreach table (see the most up-to-date schedule of those here):

Dining Services
Facilities
Environmental/Sustainability Issues
Health & Safety (DPS and the Wellness Center)
Technology
