Student Senate
The Student Senate is the legislative body of DePauw Student Government. These senators serve as the primary advocates for the student body and are crucial in bringing change to campus.
The Student Senate is comprised of eleven Senators: two representative per academic class and one from each academic school (Creative School, School of Business, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences). It is chaired by the Executive Vice President and meets every Tuesday at 7:30PM EST.
