The Senate promotes the welfare of the student body by acting as a liaison between the student body and the College Administration, facilitating a smoother flow of information between said groups. Senators draft proposals and legislation that, if passed, are brought before the College Administration for action. A list of previous proposals can be found on the sidebar.
