The Legislative Branch of the Missouri Students Association, more commonly known as the MSA Senate, is the policy-creating entity within our student government. Led by the Speaker of the Senate, MSA Senate consists of 80 student students from different academic programs and organizations on campus and works to create collaborative and innovative student policies. Together, we create a vision for what students need at the University of Missouri!

The Legislative Branch is comprised of five Legislative Committees — Academic Affairs, Internal Affairs, External Affairs, Social Justice Affairs, and Campus Affairs, which all meet with campus leaders, administration, and programs to advocate for students across the University. All of these committees are comprise of active Senators and students, who work under the support of a dedicate chair to create projects and legislation. Every other week, the entire Association meets, at a Full Senate Meeting to discuss ongoing projects and debate legislation.

After the Association reaches a majority consensus, the office of the Speaker of the Senate brings the student concerns to campus leaders and departments and works to create effective and impactful solutions. Throughout the process, we relay on the passion and dedication of peers and staff at the University of Missouri to help create to best campus possible.
