Senate Committees
Northwest's Student Senate serves as the voice and representative of the student body. To effectively accomplish such an enormous task, the Student Senate is organized into six committees and relies on the efforts of committed senators to actively seek information and opinions.

Senate has a strong commitment to the community, whether it be in Maryville or Louisiana. This committee organizes blood drives, highway clean-ups, United Way campaign drives, and much more.
