Student Senate 2023-24

Advisor: Mark Bourassa, bourassam@bluffton.edu

Student Senate serves as the official voice for students and allocates funds to student clubs and organizations. Our goal is to seek out students’ opinions and concerns, and to advocate for positive change through cooperating with other organizations while maintaining the Christian mission of our institution by which each student’s opinion is valued and equal.
