The Student Senate provides students with the opportunities to participate in the college’s shared governance process, to work with the Sierra College community to develop activities, support programs and services that promote student success and enhance our campus community.
You will find being a member of the Student Senate is both rewarding and demanding at the same time. The skills you develop working with the faculty and staff on campus, you will use long after you leave Sierra College.
The Student Senate is responsible for an annual working budget of over $275,000 in program funds. Thank you for your support of the Associated Students!
Student Senate meetings are open to the public and everyone is encouraged to attend. During the fall and spring semesters, Student Senate meets every Thursday from 2:00 to 4:00 pm via Zoom Conference Call (Meeting ID: 983 7234 4522, Password: assc2021). Student Senate does not meet during college breaks or recess.

The Associated Students’ Constitution defines our mission, purpose
The Student Senate Bylaws include Financial Code, Duties and Responsibilities, and Election Code. The Student Senate Bylaws (May 2014) define our organization and financial structure as outlined in the Constitution. The Student Senate votes to change and upgrade these bylaws as needed.
The “Faculty of the Year” award is to acknowledge those professors who go beyond simply lecturing students; they bring learning alive. They are more than just professors; they are role models and mentors in and out of the classroom.
Each year the Student Senate selects nominated professors as “Faculty Members of the Year” for each of the four campuses.
You challenged us to reach heights we did not think possible, you pushed us when needed and taught us to believe in our dreams. Thank you for your time, energy and enthusiasm you made a huge impact on the students of Sierra College.
