Student Senate  -  Janette Christie, Advisor Email
All students have the opportunity to participate in student government and the planning of student activities on the WITC campus through Student Senate. WITC-Ashland's Student Senate provides educational, cultural, and fun events throughout the academic year.

The Student Senate is composed of representatives from each program and organization on campus, as well as interested students-at-large. Officers are elected into office by the student body shortly after classes begin. Any student interested in participating as either a representative or officer may contact the student activities coordinator at WITC or Janette Christie, Student Advisor.

Members of the Student Senate, with the guidance and assistance of the student activities coordinator, plan, budget, and facilitate may extracurricular activities. These activities include a fall picnic lunch. Halloween week festivities, winter holiday events, Wellness Day, and a spring picnic. The Student Senate also helps fund trips and activities of other campus organizations. 

Participate in the WITC-Ashland Student Senate. In return for your effort, you'll gain organization and budgeting experience. You'll also enjoy getting to know your fellow classmates as well as the WITC faculty and staff.
