The Cowley College Student Senate (CCSS) is an important and necessary group in the operation of student and college activities.

With the assistance of a sponsor, CCSS organizes and sponsors a variety of student activities, represents students on faculty-college committees, charters student organizations, conducts all student elections, and provides an avenue for student opinion in the area of curriculum development. CCSS is the official voice of the student body and is composed of the President, the Vice President, the Secretary, and the Liaison, representatives from each college student organization, and members-at-large. The four officer positions are elected each spring by the student body, faculty, and staff.

All alumni are asked to keep in touch with the college in order to receive information on opportunities available for alumni.

Class reunions are held periodically, and an Outstanding Tiger Alumnus is honored each year at Commencement.
