AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM YOUR STUDENT SENATE:
Proudly Announcing the Restructured Student Senate
In January 2024 at the State of the Student Senate, the semester-long internal restructuring process revealed significant changes to improve the GVSU Student Senate. We invite you to watch the video, read the Lanthorn article, and review our updated constitution and bylaws to get to know your new GVSU Student Senate.
What is Student Senate?
As the official student government at Grand Valley State University, Student Senate works to ensure that the voice of the students is continually heard by the University. Newly revised in January 2024, Senate is comprised of 40 students who each serve on one of the different councils which work to enhance student life, academics, and the overall student experience at GVSU:
- Allocations Council
- Public Relations Council
- Diversity, Equity Inclusion, and Belonging (DEI+B) Council
- Policy Council
- Events Council
