Senate structure
The Student Senate is a body of students who act as representatives in
voicing the concerns of the undergraduate community at Lehigh
University.
The Senate is comprised of 45 Members from all of the university’s living groups: Fraternities, Sororities, On-Campus, Off-Campus, and
First-Year students. The seats are divided up proportionally to best
represent the undergraduate population by affiliation and living groups.
The Senate is divided into a number of different sub-groups. There are three standing committees: Public Relations, Allocations, and Club Affairs. Public Relations’ task is to advertise and promote Senate and its activities. Allocations is responsible for allocating the Senate’s funds to the many different recognized clubs around campus. Club Affairs is responsible for
providing services and resources to ensure these clubs succeed.
In the beginning of each academic year, the full Senate also recognizes CLIP committees. These committees are organized for the entirety of the
school year and have specific goals. This year, there are five CLIP committees: Healthy Living, Transportation, Student Safety and Advocacy, Community Relations, and Facilities and Student Spaces.
Senate also has the power to create ad-hoc committees to deal with temporary issues as they arise throughout the year. Ad-Hoc committees can be formed
and disbanded on an as-needed basis.
The Senate Executive Board is responsible for managing and directing all
of these groups and the Senate as a whole in completing its mission.
The Executive Board consists of the President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Parliamentarian.
