Student Senate

Change Agents. Difference Makers. Helping Hands. These phrases exemplify what MUSG's Senate is all about. MUSG represents the students, and the Senate is the means to act on what students desire. Ever since the founding of MUSG, the Senate has enacted meaningful change on Marquette's campus. Whether it be through resolutions to directly help the campus or recommendations to the administration, Senate strives every day to deliver on issues that matter to the students.

The MUSG Senate actively identifies, addresses, and represents students’ needs, concerns, and interests. As a body, it is our sole job to represent the students and champion initiatives and ideas that will make the Marquette student experience.

MUSG Senators

MUSG is made up of students. Every decision the student senate makes directly effects us, as well as the rest of the student body. It is important to us that MUSG senators work with and on behalf of students. Senators write real legislation to be passed on to administrators, meet with faculty and university officials to discuss concerns, plan forums and events focused on specific topics and gain student feedback through surveys and meeting with students.

There are senators for each college (numbers based on enrollment) and for residential areas (each residence hall, off-campus area, and commuter students).

Forum for Concerned Students

We are always looking to better understand student needs and advocate for what students want during their time at Marquette. If you have a concern or an issue that needs to be addressed, share your concern at a weekly Senate meeting in AMU 227 during the Forum for Concerned Students. This is an opportunity for students to publicly voice their ideas and concerns to people who can make a difference about it.

Every senator is prepared and excited to hear ideas and concerns. You will always have the option to contact MUSG or your MUSG Senator directly.

All University Committees

Students are appointed to University Committees by the current Student Body President. As a student representative on a University Committee, you will work alongside passionate university faculty and staff to better Marquette. Each committee has a key focus area (i.e. diversity and inclusion, university honors, dining and event services, academic integrity, and many other focus areas).

As a student on a university committee, you are a voting member (depending on the committee) and are often called upon to provide your opinion. Each student representative is required to attend a short orientation from MUSG, submit a brief online summary form after each committee meeting, attend each committee, and participate in the duties of their appointed committee. It is a phenomenal opportunity for any interested student.
