The MUSG Senate is responsible for representing the student body’s ideas, opinions, and concerns to the Marquette University administration.  Senators represent students in a variety of ways:  writing legislation to be approved by the senate, meeting with administrators to discuss students’ ideas or concerns, planning forums to address important topics like campus safety, and creating surveys to gain a better understanding of Marquette students’ needs.  If there is an issue that you think needs to be addressed, please talk to your senator or attend the weekly senate meeting to voice your concerns during the Forum for Concerned Students.  We want to hear what’s on your mind! 

 

Every Student Has a Voice... Make yours Heard!

The Ad-Hoc Committee on Funding of Student Activities was formed by Marquette University Student Government (MUSG) Legislative Vice President Jason Rae in the Fall of 2007. The committee was charged with investigating the current system of funding student activities, including a review of the student activity fee and to provide recommendations on how to improve the student organization allocationprocess. This was a proactive step to attempt to balance the financial needs of the growing number of student organizations and their events with a relatively stagnant budget to allocate to student organizations. The committee also reviewed how student activities are funded and how club sports and other organizations travelingboth domestically and internationally funded.
