After two weeks of rigorous campaigning, the inaugural Undergraduate Student Senate (USS) has been elected. 

Led by an executive cabinet, the USS is one of the five university senates that champions the voice of the undergraduate students. The USS’s core values of approachability, accessibility, representation, stewardship, and integrity will guide the work. The 97 USS representatives are dedicated servant leaders who lift up Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) in their work as advocates, change makers, and collaborators.

Virginia Tech's Principles of Community are part of the critical foundation for the USS. Centered in lifting the needs and experiences of all undergraduate students, the USS representatives will have extensive opportunities for discussions on ways to remove barriers for undergraduate students.
