Position

Time Commitment:

Organizational Role

The senate position consists of 15 members (with one proposed additional senator) whose function it is to facilitate formal communication between students, student organizations, faculty and PSU administration. Senators advocate and represent the interests of the student body at large in senate meetings, trainings, action and event planning, as well as impacting the proposal of the student fee allocation through oversight over the final proposals. The senate represents the members devoted to creating a strong, effective and efficient student government and without their work the ability of ASPSU to function would be severely compromised. Senators are also required to participate in two committees and the actions, events and trainings they create.

Words of Wisdom

(This section, except for Senators as there would be too many to fit on a page, would be a good place to put in our reflections at the end of the year to pass them on to the next organization. The one on the page can cycle every year, but we can store all the reflections themselves in a Google Doc for posterity and less clutter.)

This should be about 3-4 paragraphs at least, and should contain information about people you have reached out to, not just offices, initiatives you have furthered, and things you learned in the position that would have been better to know beforehand. Will help to inform the next section and overall planning the following years.

Onboarding. This Information will be used for the onboarding checklist, and supplement the checklist for this position. It might not be on this page. Fill these sections with your thoughts about what onboarding should look like for your position so I don't have to send out 2 links for y'all :)
