The Student Senate has seven new members subject to approval by the senate at tonight’s meeting.

The appointments are from recent resignations from the end of last semester and the beginning of this semester.

The Senate is introducing a bylaw change that would require the External Relations committee to research and prepare information for the Eastern delegates to the Illinois Board of Higher Education Student Advisory Committee.

“This will help the delegates be more prepared with information requested from IBHE-SAC, as well as ensure that our delegates’ votes are representing the student body here at EIU as a whole.” said Alison Kostelich, Student Senate member and a IBHE-SAC delegate.

Student Senate meets at 7 p.m. every Wednesday in the Arcola-Tuscola Room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
