House of Representatives
About the House of Representatives
The Liberty University Student Representative Branch allows students to make a real difference on our campus. The House of Representatives serves as one of the two houses in the Legislative Branch and is comprised of both Hall and Commuter Representatives. Each residence hall on campus elects one Hall Representative in the fall to represent their hall in the House of Representatives. Commuter Representatives are elected by commuter students at large and serve all commuter students in the House of Representatives.
The House meets every other week and is a place for students to share ideas, collaborate, and grow as they serve the student body. Representatives should join a Committee where legislation is crafted, refined, and voted upon.
