At its full capacity throughout the Fall/Winter school year, CLASSU’s Senate is served by eleven executives. The majority of these executives are elected in September, and work throughout the year to enrich the academic and social lives of Classics students at the university.
During the summer, however, CLASSU is attended by a reduced Senate of five. These include the President, Vice-President, and three executives who are elected in March/April and fulfill summer duties before being joined by the rest of the executive team in Fall.
For more information about the past Summer Senate team, as well as a list of past senates and their members, read below.
The Senate is committed to new transparency measures this year. Among these measures is the publishing of Senate Meeting Minutes, which will be regularly updated as meetings occur. All meeting minutes for the current academic year may be found here. If you encounter any trouble viewing these documents, or would like to view meeting minutes from previous years when this policy has been in effect, please email us at classicsstudentsunion@gmail.com.
