When the 2009-10 school year comes around, the Saint Mary’s Universtiy Student Senate will have a new president after a close election on March 26.
Mary Gleich, junior political science and human services double major, was elected as the SMU Student Senate president for the upcoming school year.
For the past two years, Gleich has served in the senate as vice president of external affairs. During her freshman year, she was elected as a Skemp hall senator.

Gleich said her campaign was based on three priorities that she would like to see implemented next year. These priorities are: increasing student financial aid, promoting green initiatives and including more students in discussions about the university.
“In terms of green initiatives, I would like to see continued campus-wide support,” said Gleich, “as well as increasing participation for the development of greener alternatives.”
To become more involved in university matters, Gleich encourages students to seek out their class and hall senators and contact them directly with any concerns or problems. Gleich also expressed a desire to improve communication between a representative and his or her constituents by defining the representative’s responsibilities more.
As Student Senate president, Gleich’s duties will include running senate meetings, heading the Student Senate executive board and representing students on various university committees.
All students are welcome to attend the Student Senate meetings held every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Salvi Lecture Hall.
