What is General Representative

  • Each General Representative conducts a position of broad advocacy, addressing wide-ranging undergraduate concerns that do not fall neatly under a single specialized commission. Each Gen Rep individually manages an independent staff of student directors, chiefs of staff, and interns to execute platform goals. Each office works to organize student programming and projects throughout the year, from creating and running independent campus initiatives, community-building projects, or resource funds (such as relief grants, safety drives, or local business partnerships). Gen Reps also vote on official legislation, resolutions, and the allocation of unrestricted student contingency funds to campus organizations. Additionally, Gen Rep offices work to bridge the gap the gap between individual students, student groups, and the official administration by taking direct feedback and conducting direct outreach to both internal and external entities.
