Student Senate

Session

Today is the last day to sign up for Huskies on the Hill 2012 Lobby Day! State financial support for the University of Washington has declined by 55% over the past five years, causing a 37.4% increase in tuition in the past two years alone.  Students are facing higher tuition, cuts to financial aid, the elimination of programs, and larger class sizes with fewer TAs. If you are interested in meeting other student leaders and talking with your legislators about the importance of higher education, attend Huskies on the Hill 2012 this Friday, February 3! You can sign up by filling out this catalyst survey by midnight tonight.

Huskies on the Hill 2012 is a component of the higher education advocacy week, #FML – Fund My Learning. We encourage you to check out the different events and activities during that week in order to learn more and to show your support for higher education.

The Student Senate is forming a team to participate in the 2012 Relay for Life.

Sign up today at http://www.uwrelay.org/!

Senate Leadership is excited to work with you this year and to see the positive change that we can make on this campus together. We are committed to being strong advocates on behalf of students and to ensuring that Senate actively represents the 40,000 students that comprise this UW community. Our first Senate meeting will take place on October 11, at 5 PM in Gowen 301. If you wish to get on the Senate listserv to receive weekly e-mails about what goes on at Senate, please e-mail me at asuwssch@uw.edu. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

Sincerely,

Michelle Nance

ASUW Student Senate Chair, Session XVIII

Here at ASUW, we like to provide our users with an enriching technology experience.  The new, improved Student Senate website is a perfect example of this philosophy in action.  Please feel free to take a look around, browse some legislation, or check out this year’s roster.  You’ll find loads to do on the new Student Senate website, the real problem is what to do once you’ve realized just how much time you’ve spent.
