The Student Senate consists of 22 elected PennWest Clarion Student Senators. Their responsibility is to represent the entire student body. The Student Senate is vested with all powers of the Clarion Students' Association (CSA), and they allocate the Student Activity Fee revenues with the approval of the President of PennWest Clarion.

Become a Senator

If you are interested in becoming a Senator, applications will be available on Engage at the beginning of the fall semester and during the end of the spring semester. Applications may be available throughout the academic year for special elections if a seat needs to be filled. The application consists of basic contact information, a picture of the applicant, and the applicant's platform. After the application deadline, elections occur by voting of the students of PennWest Clarion via Engage. Elected students will be contacted by the Student Senate at the conclusion of the elections.
