Representation of the disabled student population throughout campus in decision-making, administrative councils, and involvement is important to CSU and its community. Your voices are represented in the following ways:
ASCSU Senators
Your ASCSU Senators represent your student voice in the ASCSU Senate by voting on student-created bills, putting forth and sponsoring legislation to better the community, and collaborating with partners to enhance campus awareness and landscape for students. Your ASCSU Senators are:
