Meet Your Faculty Senators
Faculty Senators represent faculty across the University of Montana and serve as a vital part of shared governance. Senators bring faculty perspectives to discussions about academic policies, curriculum, and University initiatives.
If you have questions, concerns, or ideas you'd like the Faculty Senate to consider, start by contacting your senator.
