Legislative Analyst

Legislative Analysts oversee and check the Legislation Tracker maintained by Legislative Database Editors. They manage internal detailed records of legislation and supply fact-based analysis on proposed legislation to the Student Senate and general public. Legislative Analysts may be asked to evaluate conversation on legislation, either through attending Senate meetings or reading meeting minutes. They write and present Torchlight updates to the Legislative Branch, often with the guidance of a Fellow. Applicants can expect to further increase their knowledge of SGA and gain skills in project management and legislative analysis.
