Senate

The Senate consists of twelve elected Senators who represent the interests of the undergraduate students of USC.

If you have an idea or project to make USC a better place, the Senate is a great place to start. Our Senators are passionate about improving USC and love to partner with similarly passionate students. Whether you have a long-term project in mind or just want to change something about campus, contact our Senators to make that vision a reality.

 Senators also have a vast knowledge of campus resources and serve as excellent advocates for campus organizations. If you are interested in having a Senator at your student organization, contact the Speaker of the Senate at usgsots@usc.edu.
