Student Senate

The Student Government Association (SGA) is an official governing body at UWRF. We're committed to representing the voices of the student body at the university. We include a variety of committees and subcommittees and partner with other shared governance units at both the university and state level. 

Every Falcon opinion matters so we would like to hear them! If you'd like to make a comment or inquiry to the SGA, please email sga.vicepresident@uwrf.edu or visit our office in the Involvement Center. Visit FalconsConnect to view our upcoming events, find minutes and agendas and more!

Student Senate Mission Statement

We, the Student Government Association of the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, strive to advocate for the student body by representing their needs at a university, state and national level.

The Academic and Student Affairs Committee supports student success and advocates for academic policy change. Members of the committee address student concerns and lead initiatives that educate students about academic affairs. Along with discussing student inquiries, members of the council gather feedback from the student body. The council uses suggestions and students' experiences to guide the Student Senate's policy recommendations to other shared governance organizations.

The Finance Committee holds significant power on campus through their oversight of student segregated fees. The committee reviews the budget proposals from campus entities such as Textbook Services, Residence Life and Counseling Services, and forwards their recommendations to the chancellor. This gives members of the committee the unique opportunity to advocate for the expenditure of students’ segregated fees. The Finance Committee also allocates money to Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs).

The Judicial Committee is comprised of the Chief Justice, Senior Associate Justice, Senate Associate Justices and At-Large Associate Justices. These members are tasked with settling all disputes arising within SGA in accordance with not only the SGA Bylaws, but also all UWRF and Universities of Wisconsin policies. This committee has direct oversight of the Executive Branch and Election Commission and annually reviews all governing documents.

2025 Election Narratives

As part of the election process, candidates are given the opportunity to submit a narrative for their peers to learn more about their interest in positions and why they feel they are the best choice. Submissions are below.

I believe I would be an excellent candidate for student government because of my strong leadership experience, academic dedication, and deep understanding of local governance. As an Ag Business major, I consistently excel in my coursework and am committed to maintaining high academic standards. I am highly involved with Alpha Gamma Rho, serving on the Membership Accountability Committee as well as multiple other committees, where I actively contribute to the growth and success of the organization. Throughout high school, I served as an officer in multiple student organizations, honing my leadership, communication, and organizational skills. Growing up in a family where my father is the mayor of Howard Lake, MN, I gained valuable insights into local government and the importance of civic engagement. Additionally, my active involvement in various committees and organizations has given me a broad understanding of students' needs and desires, allowing me to represent my peers effectively. This combination of leadership experience, academic success, and exposure to government makes me uniquely qualified to represent my peers and make a positive impact on our campus community.
