Welcome to the Legislative Branch

Welcome Fellow Bulls,

On behalf of the 50th Student Government Senate Term at the University of South Florida, we extend our sincerest of salutations to all who share our sense of pride and passion for Bulls Country. We are excited about this year and all that will be accomplished by our Student Government to better the USF experience for the student body. We are committed to campus involvement and believe being involved will enhance your student experience. Your elected representatives of Student Government are the vessel from which positive impacts on your student life are made.

As the legislative body of Student Government, we are responsible for the annual allocation of roughly over $10 million dollars, which is collected from the Activity and Service fees (A&S) that every student pays. These allocations fund entities such as your Campus Recreation Center, the Marshall Student Center, Campus Activity Board, University Lecture Series, Stampede of Service, and Homecoming; as well as over one hundred and sixty different diverse student organizations.

Additionally, we have six committees that have many different responsibilities. These duties range from student organization funding to interacting and aiding student advocacy and representation. The Committees are outlined in the links on this page, and we encourage you to look through them!

During the Fall term, the Student Senate meets every other Tuesday at 6:00PM in The Chambers, located on the fourth floor of the Marshall Student Center – your Student Union. We invite you to attend a session and see the dedication and commitment that your fellow students, elected representatives, have in serving the students at the University of South Florida. In addition, the Senate Office is located on the 4th floor of the Student Life Tower, Room 4300.

Thank you, and may all of your endeavors be successful and prosperous during the 2009 – 2010 school year!

With BULL Pride,
