Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get involved in making a difference with the Senate?

We’d love to get your input – we are always looking for class representatives (general education courses) and for department representatives (declared major students/upperclassman). Contact the senator for your college and they’ll invite you to their next student lunch. Bring ideas, feedback, and insights for how to improve your academic experience here at UT.

Additionally, you can always leave suggestions through our feedback form: Trailblazer Talks!

What can the Senate do for me?

The biggest impact the Senate can have for you individually is to hear your voice, and elevate it higher: such as to a Dean or Department Chair, or to connect you to resources/answers across campus.

On the collegiate level, the Senate is always looking for ways to improve your experience. Maybe you notice their isn’t adequate access to Grammerly for your grad program, the Senate could pursue a partnership to fund that. Or maybe in your college you notice there are no places to refill water bottles, let us help solve that.

I have an idea to improve my college, whats next?

Reach out to your Senator above, or stop by the UTSA offices and ask to meet with a Senator or Student Engagement Advisor. We’re always here to help!
