What is the General Student Senate?
The University of Maine Student Government (UMSG) General Student Senate (GSS) meets every Tuesday of the academic year at 6:00 PM in the Bangor Room of the Memorial Union. Senators and Executives gather to hear reports from Senate Committee Chairs, Representative Boards, Community Associations, clubs, faculty members, and many more. Senators debate and vote on club recognition and funding, as well as resolutions that affect the entire student body.
If you have questions or concerns about your experience at UMaine, GSS can be a valuable resource or venue for discussion of the issues that affect you and your student community.
