Student Senate

The highest student-governed body at UniSQ.

The Student Senate is your representative voice at UniSQ. We’re committed to fostering a vibrant, inclusive student culture and ensuring your perspectives are heard in University decision-making. Our members work to enhance your student experience through advocacy, collaboration, and meaningful engagement.

As a vital link between students and the University, we identify opportunities to strengthen student voice and drive initiatives that promote participation and build community.

Did you know that all UniSQ students and staff are invited to attend Student Senate meetings as observers? Simply email representation@unisq.edu.au at least two university business days prior to a meeting for a link to join. Meetings are generally held from 12.00 pm - 1.00 pm - check out the 2025 meeting schedule (PDF).

Hi, I’m Pujan Patel, currently studying a Bachelor of Information Technology, majoring in Software Application Development at the University of Southern Queensland.

I’m passionate about technology, innovation, and community engagement. As a Student Ambassador and participant in the National Leadership Forum 2024 in Canberra, I enjoy connecting with people, promoting student life, and contributing to a positive campus experience.

Outside of studies, I love playing cricket and tennis, and spending peaceful moments at Picnic Point, Queens Park, and the Japanese Garden in Toowoomba.

Hi I’m Maddie. I am in my 4th year of studying a Bachelor of Education (Primary) and I am the School of Education representative on the Student Senate. I am also one of the Senate co-chairs.

A little about me is that I play percussion, I really like animals, especially dogs, and I like to play netball and softball. I enjoy getting to talk with fellow students to hear what is going well, concerns and ideas so feel free to reach out.

Hey, I’m Ujwal, a final-year Electrical and Electronic Engineering student at UniSQ.

I’m super passionate about sustainable energy and currently researching wireless charging systems for electric vehicles.

I’ve also worked on-site with Millmerran Power Project and Ivy Homes, where I got to apply what I’ve learned in real-world settings. When I’m not studying or building something in the lab, you’ll probably find me surfing, camping, or chasing the next great adventure outdoors.
