Student Union Parliamentarian
Thomas Musgrave '25
Hello! My name is Thomas Musgrave, and I am honored to serve as Student Union Parliamentarian for the 2024-2025 term. I am a senior originally from Bourbonnais, Illinois, and a proud former resident of the Cinderblock Palace, Stanford Hall, but now living off-campus.
I study political science with minors in data science and social entrepreneurship, and hope to pursue a career in law or public policy. Aside from Judicial Council, I also serve as President of the Notre Dame Student Policy Network, give campus tours with undergraduate admissions, and play violin in the Symphony Orchestra on campus. Last summer, I had the amazing opportunity to intern at the White House in the Office of Presidential Correspondence!
As a Student Union Parliamentarian for the 2024-2025 term, my priorities are as follows:
1. Maintenance and Review of the Constitution and Bylaws: Identify and resolve discrepancies and obscurity within the Constitution and bylaws. Evaluate structural and procedural issues and work with fellow Student Union leaders to consider constitutional reform.
2. Informed and Impartial Operation of the Committee on the Constitution and Senate: Ensure all members of the Committee on the Constitution and the Student Senate are fully informed of their rights, responsibilities, and abilities. Promote democratic discussion and support new legislation in an impartial, apolitical manner.
3. Efficient and Effective Procedural Operation of the Student Union: Work towards ensuring all Student Union processes and decisions are harmonious with the Constitution and bylaws. Ensure that all relevant meetings are run according to relevant procedural rules and that associated Chairs are informed of their rights, responsibilities, and abilities.
