DUTIES OF THE SENATE
Besides attending weekly Senate meetings, senators take on a variety of roles and tasks to support students.
EVENTS AND PROGRAMS
Senators collaborate with clubs, student admin branches, or form their own teams to create events and student-oriented programming to enhance campus life (e.g. Club Rush, STEM Summit).
COLLEGE GOVERNANCE
Ohlone is governed by a series of committees on each part of the College's structure. Senators are allocated to these committees to advocate for student interests and keep the Senate updated on happenings.
CREATE SOLUTIONS
Senators maintain a close working relationship with key college administrators and departments (e.g. Office of Student Services) and write legislation (ASO Bills) to fix issues facing students and solve problems.
