Summer Session Student Senate

Dave Racer

You will pick the issues we consider, write your bills, choose your co-authors, and form alliances. All members will be allowed to write at least one bill (with the Gov's help, of course). Find incredible witnesses - and learn, laugh, and yes, play at lawmaking.

Low cost, High reward

If you play sports, think of this as a summer season. A chance to improve your leadership and people skills, gain knowledge, and rev up that Student Senate camaraderie. There nothing like it.

Tuition is xxx and includes your Summer Session Senate folder, name tag, and of course, the yellow legal pad, rules, the roster and a huge opportunity for fun.

We are hoping to enroll 20 members. Official registration opened on June 1. Your tuition payment will serve as your registration.
