Nick Petreikis
(HE/HIM)

Nick Petreikis is a senior majoring in Public Policy and Administration. He was originally appointed in Fall 2022, previously serving as Senate Parliamentarian, Deputy Speaker of the Senate, and as a member of the Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee (SUFAC) for nearly three years. He most recently served as its Chairman, where he oversaw the annual allocation and review of over $13 million in student segregated fees, before resigning to accept the role of Speaker of the Senate.
Now as Speaker, Nick is committed to fostering a more engaged and effective Senate by increasing opportunities for student involvement and ensuring that student voices are actively represented in university decision-making processes. He is focused on building a Senate that not only represents students, but works for them.
Outside of student government, Nick is actively involved on campus and in the broader community, serving as Vice President of Finance for Enactus and as Vice Chair of the City of Whitewater’s Board of Zoning Appeals, while continuing his commitment to public service and leadership.
