Student Government Part 5 : Building a Better Baylor

Not only does student government have a major impact on the Baylor community, but it also impacts the students who serve in the government as well.

Serving as a student government member provides vast opportunities of being a part of the current changes at Baylor. The members become one of the essential pieces in forming the Baylor experience. Writing legislations that actually cause change on campus is one of the most rewarding parts.  They act as the representatives of the student body.

“I joined Senate because I wanted to be the voice for my constituents’ voice,”Sophomore senator Brian Kim, Houston said.

Student government members are among the first to know about the various issues that are effecting the Baylor campus and Waco community. They are also among the first to know about the different events that will be taking place at Baylor.

But beyond knowing about current Baylor events and changes, student government also acts as a launching pad for opportunities after life at Baylor. Many senators have gone on to have internships and jobs with government officials and lawmakers. Former student body President Jordan Hannah is currently serving directly under Baylor president Judge Ken Starr. The leadership experience that is gained in student government can be used  in the future careers of the current members.
