College Senate Officers

College Senate Leadership

Elections to the College Senate are held every three years in October. Outgoing College Senate Officers and non-officer volunteers collaborate on the Senate Charter Committee (a subcommittee) to organize the elections. Each department/program may choose any method to nominate or appoint a representative to the College Senate.

The Senate consists of the Faculty Senate and the Staff Senate, each led by a Senate Chair.

  • Both have equal standing and include Senate officers who help organize subcommittees.
  • Subcommittees are formed to work on specific policy areas, and volunteers are encouraged to join
    these subcommittees.

The term limit for all elected Officers, both Faculty and Staff Senate Officers, of the Franklin Cummings Tech College Senate, including co-chairs, is three academic years (operational until October 2026).
