Join Student Senate

There are three ways to join the Student Senate. You can join our internship program, apply for an appointed position, or you can run for an elected position in the Spring.

The Internship Program

The Internship Program is a way for students who have never participated in the Ohio University Student Senate to learn and get involved with our student government. The program is designed for you to learn about Senate processes and procedure while taking an active role in Senate activities. You will spend at least two hours each work learning about who we are and how and why we do what we do. The program is utilized exceptionally well by underclassmen, but upperclassmen are certainly welcome to apply. If you are interested in being an intern for the Student Senate, please fill out the application below.

Apply to be on the 2013-2014 Senate

The application to join next year's Student Senate is now out. It will be due in the Student Senate office, Baker 305, by 5:00 PM on Tuesday, April 23rd. Please sign up for an interview time as you turn in your application.

Apply for an Appointed Position

The majority of positions on the Student Senate are appointed. These positions include all the Commissioners, Vice Commissioners, Delegates, Staff, and even some Senators. Below you will find all of the positions currently available on the Student Senate. If there are no positions right now, don't worry. The application for every position on Senate for the following year will be released right after Spring Break.

If you have questions about any of the positions above, please check out the "Rules" page.

Run for an Elected Position

Every spring, the elections for the new Student Senate are held. Running for an elected position is a difficult but rewarding process, and you are certainly most welcome to run. To find out more about how to get elected, check out the "Elections" section on the "Rules" page.
