The ASUPS Senate is the legislative body that establishes and reviews all policies, affairs, and activities of ASUPS. It is in charge of finalizing the use of your ASUPS funds. In addition, the ASUPS Senate confirms all appointments made by the Executive branch as well as recognizes student clubs as official ASUPS clubs. Finally, the Senate has the ultimate power to amend the ASUPS budget, Constitution, and Bylaws.
Senate
There are twelve senator positions: First-Year Senator, Sophomore Senator, Junior Senator, Senior Senator, Greek Senator, Residence Hall Senator, Off-Campus Senator, On-Campus House Senator, and four Senators at Large. Senators are elected during the first six weeks of each semester, depending on the position. Each term will last an entire year, with the exception of the First-Year Senator which will last half a year and the Senior Senator which will last a year and a half.
The Senate meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. in the ASUPS Office, Wheelock 210. All are welcome and encouraged to attend!

Winston Zapet Bamac '27
About: My name is Winston Zapet Bamac and I am serving as a Senator-at-Large and the Senate Chair for the coming 2026-2027 academic year. My time as President of the ASUPS was memorable for a multitude of reasons, but what underlines all of them is that I got to work with peers from all around campus and interacted with students eager to make change on campus. I want to strengthen the presence of our student government in your life through more regular outreach and surveys, focused community projects, and active committees during this new term. If you are interested in learning more about our organization, or would like to get involved with us, then please do not hesitate to contact me. Hacks and chops!
