Student Governance

Student Senate
Mark Bourassa, advisor
Ext. 3217
Composed of 17 members, the senate has primary responsibility in the areas of co-curricular activities. It also serves as the official voice for students. The senate consists of four members from each class and the president.

Residence hall associations
Each residence hall has its own governing body which has as its members the students living in the hall and the hall director who acts as advisor to the group. The Residence Hall Government Association (RHGA) acting body is composed of an elected board consisting of the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and a representative from each floor.

The RHGA initiates and enforces residence hall regulations and makes proposals to the administration and the general campus community concerning residence halls and other campus issues and regulations that are outside of the jurisdiction of the RHGA. The hall governments also sponsor social and academic activities in the residence halls.

Marbeck Center Board
Dan Stanowick, advisor
Ext. 3218Marbeck Center Board (MCB) serves as the main student programming group responsible for initiating and implementing opportunities for student involvement and interaction. While it operates out of Marbeck Center, MCB programs a variety of activities including dances, coffeehouse concerts, outdoor games and trips to regional attractions and sporting events. The board consists of a diverse group of students, representing a variety of subpopulations. At least two seats on the board are reserved for incoming first-year students starting in the fall semester. The main recruitment and application process for the coming academic year occurs in the spring semester. The campus community is encouraged to provide ideas and feedback to help MCB function to its fullest.
