UNMC Student Senate
The UNMC Student Senate exists for the purpose of influencing University policy and promoting the interests of all students attending UNMC. As the official representative of the student body, the Senate consists of senators from each educational unit of UNMC.
The UNMC Student Senate office is located on the second floor of Williams Science Hall. Meetings are held monthly and are open to all students and to the public. If you have questions about the Student Senate, please contact the current president or faculty advisor.

Become a Senator
Class presidents or vice-presidents automatically serve as senate representatives upon election. At-large senators are elected each year in the spring by their fellow students in Allied Health Professions, Graduate Studies, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health. The president of UNMC Student Senate serves as a non-voting member of the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska.
BOSS Proposals
Student Senate BOSS Proposals: Open Sep. 14, 2023 through April 1, 2024, for events and initiatives scheduled before September 2024.
BOSS stands for Benefiting Organizations through Student Senate, and BOSS Proposals are a fantastic opportunity for Student Senate to support you! BOSS proposals are a formal means by which the Student Senate can fund individual events and initiatives planned by student organizations.
Proposals are submitted by individual students on behalf of student organizations. They are accepted, reviewed, and evaluated by the UNMC Student Senate Issues Committee on a rolling basis. We will evaluate these proposals as they are submitted throughout the year and allocate funds as able. We are also using assistance from the Student Life Inclusion and Diversity Office (SLIDO) to help guide you through the BOSS proposal process.
As of Fall 2023, students are REQUIRED to have one student officer attend a SLIDO info session AND an officer meet with the Student Organization Activities coordinator (Kiara Kocsis-Gregurich) prior to submitting a BOSS proposal to verify that all funding requests meet BOSS funding requirements.
