Where you can volunteers as a Legislative Volunteer?

Legislative Debate Evaluator: Evaluators will assess delegates’ bills and debate skills on their solutions to important issues, considering factors such as preparedness, participation, and quality of debate. Responsibilities may include observing multiple delegates at once and applying consistent evaluations, and evaluating chair and clerk teams. While knowledge of parliamentary procedure is a plus, it is not required, as training will be provided to ensure all evaluators are well-prepared for their roles.

  • Help monitor general student conduct. You may be placed in House, Senate, Duran House, or Duran Senate Chambers for the duration of a session or be asked to move between committee rooms
