Student Leadership
Student Senate
The Student Senate is the Student Government Association at Massasoit Community College. They serve as a liaison between the student body and the college administration, participating in planning and decision-making processes to improve the college experience for all students. They also oversee student clubs and organizations, including the annual review of club applications and the allocation of funds to support the missions of established clubs and organizations. Senators are also very involved members of the college community, planning and attending student activities and events, and participating in community service projects.
Student Senate elections are held each fall with any vacancies throughout the year posted and filled by appointment. There are 18 seats on the Senate, including the Student Trustee. To be eligible to join, students must complete a nomination form. New students are encouraged to join! Returning students must be enrolled at the time of nomination, be in good academic standing (a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5), and have no disciplinary records at the College.
