The SGA Senator position is one of two member tiers in the SGA. There are currently twenty seats: eight for academic schools and twelve at-large. Senators are the only members with Senate and committee voting power, therefore SGA would not be without its Senators.

My goal as senator is simple: to represent the student body with transparency, hard work, and genuine care for the community we’re building together here at West Conn.
