Student Senate swears in three new senators

In the first meeting of the semester, Student Senate appointed three new senators.
Ashley Burrows, junior of Hay Springs, was sworn in as a new liberal arts senator. Allison Schneider, senior of Lincoln, was sworn in as a senator of BMS and Nikki Haller, sophomore of Alliance, was sworn in as a PSAS senator.
“I decided to join Student Senate as a way to become more involved on campus, and it’s a great way to develop professional skills,” Haller said. “As a student senator, I am most excited about all the activities that Student Senate gets to be involved with. Student senate is a great way to become involved and represent the student body!”
During the meeting, the senators also discussed the possibility of creating a speaker request fund. This money, which would come from the general fund, would be allocated specifically for clubs that wanted to bring a speaker to campus.
The discussion on the fund was tabled, and a vote is set to take place next week.
