Students Come First

We, the students of Wichita State University, believe that having certain collective authority, we are charged with the accompanying inescapable responsibility to further a democratic community marked by mature citizenship habits, attitudes, and skills; and recognizing that this degree of responsibility will be manifested in the total community when we, as individuals, take our places there; do herein define and organize this collective authority into a student association and, guarantee that our use of it will always be in harmony with our trust.

The Student Senate holds meetings every Wednesday during the academic year at 7:30 p.m. in the Sante Fe Room of the Rhatigan Student Center unless notified otherwise. These meetings are open to the public. Our Senate meetings are livestreamed, recorded and posted to our YouTube channel.

Need to File a Case with the Supreme Court? The Court stands as a valuable resource to students recourse with Constitutional language, opinions decisions made by SGA, issues with RSOs, alledged violations of the Student Bill of Rights, and final appeals regarding traffic violations and parking tickets/disputes.
