The Intent to Run must be filled out by Sunday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to SGA Vice President and former SGA Senator Brenna Schwien, there are many things students can learn from being a senator<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThrough my time as a senator, I learned how SGA functions, all the different pieces of it, what needs to happen in order for different pieces of legislation to pass,\u201d she said. \u201dBut I also learned how to speak with my constituents and see what their concerns were.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SGA President and former senator Jackson Sinsel said the opportunity to learn more about what different campus groups needed was one of the aspects of the job that stood out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I was a senator, I enjoyed learning more about what groups were asking for,\u201d he said. \u201cSo if they were asking to move money, why [are they asking] and where would they be going? When I did the allocations process, it was always interesting to learn about groups that I\u2019d never heard about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator responsibilities include attending the weekly SGA meetings and office hours, and serving on a committee. An office hour can range from a 15-minute survey of what the senator\u2019s fellow students want changed to talking to state representatives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every senator serves on a committee; for example, the allocations committee. Senators hear from clubs about how much funding they want allocated to their budgets, then vote on how much they believe each club should receive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted to run for [Student Government Association] because I thought it would be something that would help me later in my career, and I really wanted to be involved on campus,\u201d said first-year senator Lucina Parson.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vice President Schwien said that, as a senator, students can make significant change on campus. This can be done through the committee, an open forum, discussions on bills put forth by clubs, and advocacy for fellow students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tigerlink.fhsu.edu\/submitter\/form\/step\/1?Guid=b9c4dd15-eb5c-4286-8aa7-927174f4da35\">The Intent to Run form can be found here.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By ABIGAIL SHEARER Tiger Media Network The Student Government Association is looking for senators for the 2026-2027 school year.
