As head of the MUSG senate, he is responsible for representing the ideas, opinions and concerns of Marquette's student body. Halunen, a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, has held a number of prestigious internships in the political field, including working as a field intern for the Barack Obama Campaign for Change. After graduation Halunen plans to attend law school while becoming active in Minnesota politics. He hopes to one day be elected to either the state or federal legislature.
