Senators are the representatives of the student body at Boston College. Each class directly elects five Senators, who are the only democratically chosen individuals besides the UGBC President and Vice President. Senators serve to represent the voices and interests of the student body by working together with faculty, administrators, and other members of the BC community. Our primary concern is that of the students; we encourage you to contact us with any suggestions, questions, or concerns

We welcome you to attend our open meetings which are held weekly, every Wednesday at 9:30 PM, in Gasson 305.

Welcome to the UGBC Senate website!

On behalf of the entire Senate and its staff, we would like to thank you for visiting, and hope that you find our website both useful and informative. This site will stay updated throughout the year with our work, and we hope you will come back.

As the leaders of the UGBC Senate, it is our job to ensure that the Senate remains committed to representing our student interests here at Boston College. We believe that the Senate should be a forum where students can voice their concerns and have them addressed by their elected representatives. Furthermore, we believe that Senators should be advocates for the entire student body, serving in an honest and accessible manner.

During our tenure as President and Vice President we plan to accomplish the goals we have set out to achieve and those that might come our way during the course of the next two semesters. We will continue to work to be more visible and transparent on campus, in regards to our services for you and the structure of our organization. We will work diligently to help make your experience on the Heights better and more enjoyable. Yet, without your voice, we are nothing, and it is imperative that we listen to you in order to do our job effectively. Please feel welcome to come to our meetings and to share your thoughts with us. We want to serve you!

We thank you again for visiting our website, and hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,
