Councils & Committees

This committee is comprised of one representative from each college within CU Denver to serve as a direct liaison between the students of their respective programs to both the college administration and SGA. This committee is charged with initiatives that directly support opportunities for their constituents and champion solutions for college issues, for example college town halls and Major/Minors Mixer.

College Council Senators are all elected. Each College Council Senator is a voting member in the Senate.

This committee allocates student fee funds to student organizations and helps organizations with the funding process. This is the arm of SGA that directly supports student organizations and works closely with Student Life. Past initiatives of this committee include the weekly review of organization funding requests and hosting a student organization social.

Senators at large are assigned to this committee and all are voting members of the Senate.

The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB) is comprised of student representatives elected from all three institutions on campus: the Community College of Denver (CCD), Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver), and the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver). SACAB endeavors to provide a balanced representation of all three institutions throughout the campus. Past initiatives championed by SACAB include RTD student transit fee, expansion of sustainability initiatives across Auraria, and AHHA (Auraria Hunger and Homelessness Awareness) Week events.

Our two SACAB representatives are elected. SACAB members hold voting rights with both Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board and Senate.

This committee plans and executes two CU Denver SGA signature events: the Fall Cultural Diversity Festival (typically in November) and Carnival deLynx (typically in late April). 

The Director of Events is elected and serves as a voting member of the Senate. Senators serve on either the fall or spring event planning committee led by the Director of Events.

The Director of Student Fee Review is an elected, voting member of the Senate.

The entire Senate serves as the Student Fee Review Committee and hears presentations on budget requests from the student fee-supported offices on campus.  This committee makes recommendations and stipulations regarding the allocation of all student assessed fees; this includes reviewing new funding requests and current expenditures. The committee is tasked with ensuring that all student purpose fees are allocated in a manner that best serves the students of the University of Colorado Denver.

The Judicial Council is responsible for the oversight and enforcement of the SGA Constitution and Bylaws, including holding members of SGA accountable and the implementation of elections. Judicial is responsible for record keeping, minute taking at meetings, parliamentary order, and the on-boarding of new SGA members appointed during the year.

Judicial members are called Justices. All justices are hired members of SGA and are non-voting members of the Senate.
