STUDENT SENATE
Senators select graduate student affairs director to strengthen ties

Student Senate unanimously confirmed Kellee Kirkpatrick, a Ph.D. student from Ellinwood, as graduate student affairs director Wednesday night.
Kirkpatrick is the first graduate student affairs director in Senate history. The position was created earlier this semester as to improve graduate student representation within Senate.
Kirkpatrick said her first priority would be to expand communication between Senate and gradu
ate student groups on campus. To accomplish this, she said she plans to create a graduate student e-mail
list and a graduate student advisory board
"I think that right now there's this huge disconnect." Kirkpatrick said. "Id really like to see graduate stu
would perform well in her new role. As graduate student affairs director, she is a voting member on five boards and committees and a non-voting member on two. She's also the first graduate student representative to be a paid member of the Student Executive Staff.
see graduate ed dents become more involved in the process."
"She has a great vision for what needs to happen with graduate student representation on this campus," said Smith, a senior from Goddard. "She is going to be an outstanding leader for graduate students."
Student Body President Michael Wade Smith said Kirkpatrick
