House of Delegates
About
The Liberty University Student Representative Branch exists to allow students the opportunity to make a real difference on our campus. The House of Delegates (HOD) serves as one of the two houses in the Representative Branch and is comprised of Delegates who represent the student body as a whole. The House meets every other week and is a place for students to share ideas, collaborate and grow together as they serve the student body. Delegates are strongly encouraged to join a Committee where ideas are debated and legislation is crafted. Apply to be a delegate and make a difference at Liberty University.

Speaker of the House
I’m Don Loos, from Fredericksburg, Virginia, and I am proud to serve as the Speaker of the House of Delegates. A member of the Class of 2024, I am studying finance, with minors in accounting and government. My primary objectives as Speaker include leading the House of Delegates as a coequal partner in the Student Government Association, helping to develop a system to more effectively connect delegates to the students they represent, and promoting a productive environment for discussion and debate in House meetings through the faithful application of the relevant rules and procedures.
