Welcome Fellow Golden Panthers,

The Legislative Branch of SGA also known as the Senate welcomes you to a year of change. The Senate’s focus for this year is strengthening communication with students, upholding the SGA Cares program, and introducing legislation that mirror the interest of the FIU Student Body. The Senate thanks you for record-setting participation in last year’s election. The Senate plans to achieve closer proximity with students through forums, special event, using existing technologies, surveys and many programs under the SGA Cares umbrella. The Senate welcomes your concerns and ideas during our meetings on Mondays at 4pm in GC 150. The Senate is looking forward to working with you to better serve your interests.
