The 2013-14 Urbana-Champaign Senate will convene for the first time Monday. The meeting will take place at 3 p.m. at the Levis Center.

The senate will elect three members of the University Senates Conference who will serve through 2016 to join the seven other already-elected members.

Next year’s committee members and chairs will be established at the meeting. The senate will approve appointments to all of the committees and then vote on the chairs to lead the committees. The senate will choose between the top three candidates for each committee chair, which will have been established by a vote conducted before the meeting. Each of the committee chairs will serve on the 2013-14 Senate Executive Committee.

Since it’s the first meeting of the new governing body, senators will learn the basics of parliamentary procedure from Senate parliamentarian Ken Andersen.
