Undergraduate Student Senate of Virginia Tech

We are the USS of Virginia Tech. The voice of every Hokie, for every Hokie.
The Undergraduate Student Senate (USS) is the official governing body of undergraduate students at Virginia Tech. Through representing over 30,000 undergraduate Hokies within the shared governance system, creating legislative recommendations that supports a positive and inclusive student experience, and disseminating a portion of the student activity fee to registered student organizations, we are a group of servant leaders here to serve you!

Hey Hokies!

Welcome to the Undergraduate Student Senate (USS) website! Representative of the entire undergraduate student population at Virginia Tech, we, as the USS have an immense goal—to improve the undergraduate student experience while embodying the ideals of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) and servant leadership in all that we do. As the only unicameral student government in the nation, we strive to be a national leader for collegiate student governance. However, to do this begins from within through our student senators, who work to create impactful legislation, practice collaborative advocacy, and exhibit exemplary character. Across USS, you will find the values of approachability, accessibility, inclusivity, representation, stewardship, and integrity embodied in each of our senators. As the representative body of the undergraduate student population, we welcome student input and encourage students' participation in the policy process; it is for these reasons that we invite members of the Virginia Tech community to attend our Senate meetings, which are held on select Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. in Squires Student Center. To keep up with our meetings, events, and more, be sure to follow our Instagram page, and never hesitate to reach out to us at uss@vt.edu. Go Hokies!

Emma Roshioru, President
