Student Senate

We are students who attend Century College, and together we form the official voice of Century College Students. We are always looking for new members and welcome all students who wish to join.

For more information, call 651-779-3317 or email.

There are a number of ways you may join the Student Senate, and a number of levels of involvement.

To become a Senator, you must attend three consecutive meetings. On the third meeting, you become eligible to be voted in as an At-Large member that very meeting.

If you wish to participate in the election, you will be exempt from the three-meeting rule after having received enough votes. An open election is held at the beginning of fall and spring semester. To get your name on the ballot, you must fill out the required petition and turn it in by the deadline. Up to five (5) members may be elected (per semester) during the open election.

The Executive Board includes:

• President
• Vice President
• Secretary
• Director of Communications
• Director of Information Technology
• Director of Legislation
• Treasurer
• Director of Events

Elections for these positions are held the Spring prior to the year-long serving term. To apply, you must fill out the required form and turn it in by the deadline to become eligible to be voted in during the selected Senate meeting.

For more information, contact the Student Senate President Catherine Gnali in W1215 (Student Senate Office), via phone at 651-779-3317, or email student.senate@century.edu.

The Planning Activities Committee (PAC) plans and runs the all campus activities (i.e. WoodDuck Days, Fright Walk, Blizzard Blast, etc.) with Student Life money.

All Century College students are welcome and encouraged to join. Members are NOT required to be a part of the Student Senate.

For more information, contact Jenn Rassett, Director of Student Life and Leadership Development at 651-747-4015, or visit the Connection on the West Campus.

The Student Senate is the platform for students’ voices to be heard. Your opinion is important to us, and we want to hear from you.

To have your item placed on the agenda, make sure to contact the Student Senate President prior to the Friday before the next Senate meeting. For example, if you were to request an agenda item for a Senate meeting that falls on Wednesday, August 24, your item must be turned in the Friday prior to the meeting, August 19.
