The Executive Cabinet is appointed by the President and Executive Vice President at the beginning of their term. Upon appointment and confirmation by the new Senate, Cabinet members serve as the chairs of the USG’s committees, coordinate with Executive Board on initiatives and legislation within their area of concentration, and seek out ways to best connect with students.
Senators
Senators represent the Tulane student body. Senators put forth legislation to improve the everyday life of all Tulane students. They also vote to pass all legislation efforts.

The Freshmen Leadership Program is designed to support, engage, and educate future leaders in the Tulane community. As a part of this program, students will be provided with the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of involvement at Tulane, enhance current and build new leadership skills, learn about the Undergraduate Student Government by serving on committees and developing initiatives, and create a diverse and well-rounded network.
