Our Committees

We represent student and community interests through advocacy for programming changes, innovative initiatives, event and organization funding.

• Senate Affairs Committee

  Some of the biggest initiatives the Senate Affairs Committee has tackled in the past include election reforms to make the process simpler and more secure and proposing amendments to the USG constitution to keep with the ever-changing campus.  This committee helps streamline the election process to make it as easy and efficient as possible for the undergraduate student body and helps the broader Senate keep in line with the goals and regulations of the USG Constitution and bylaws while also updating as needed.

• Finance Committee

  As the USG Finance Committee consisting of five members, we have all collaborated on in the initial distribution of funds to a wide variety of organizations on campus (through initial allocations) and analyzed/provided supplemental funds to over 50 supplemental funding requests for a large variety of organizations. Our work this year has come at a difficult time with COVID-19 event protocols and has been especially tricky with student fee collection not being guaranteed with the prospect of fee collection being refunded. Despite this, we were able to meet our goals for this year with great success. In future years, a goal of our committee is for the student organization funding process to be very refined and clear to all organizations and equally supportive of organizations of all sizes.

• Sustainability Committee

   In 2025, the USG Sustainabilty Committee worked with Generation Conscious to provide free, waste-free laundry detergent sheets to DU Students. There is a detergent sheet vending machine located just south of the Bookstore on the CCOM Bridge. Input your 87# to dispense free, waste-free detergent sheets!
