Student Regents

The Student Regent is a member of the university's governing body, the Board of Regents, who works on behalf of the best interest of Baylor University through facilitating and communicating the views and interests of students. 

There are two student regents, one is a voting member of the board and the other is a non-voting member. After the voting student regent's term concludes, the non-voting student regent is elevated to a voting position and the non-voting position vacancy is filled by an application process. 

For more information about the Student Regent position, including how to apply, please visit the Student Regent Requirements and Application page.
