Some of their primary responsibilities include making recommendations to the college on student issues, allocating student activity fee funds, and reviewing club\/organization applications. Student Senate holds regularly scheduled meetings that all members of the campus community are invited to attend. Student Senate is comprised of eleven student leaders in the following positions: President, Vice President, Student Trustee, and eight Senators. The Student Senate Constitution can be viewed here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/student-activities\/files\/2011\/06\/GCC-Student-Senate-Constitution1.pdf\">GCC Student Senate Constitution<\/a>.
