Seven Executive Senators are elected annually from within the Senate body. Their responsibilities typically include organizing and chairing issue-specific ad hoc committees within the Senate as the need arises. The seven Executive Senators, together with the six officers and an ASUW Board of Directors member, form the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee meetings are usually every other week between Senate meetings, unless a special meeting is called. The primary responsibilities of the Executive Committee include: acting as the governing body of the GPSS when the Senate is not in session; implementing the Senate’s decisions; providing continuity and leadership for the Senate and its activities; and representing the Senate before the University administration and other groups that affect graduate and professional students.
