The University Faculty Senate represents all faculty at Penn State through the process of shared governance. Each college and campus elects one senator for every 25 faculty.  Undergraduate and graduate students are represented on the Senate, as are University administrators.  The Senate seeks ways to improve communication and collaborative decision making across the University.
