Student Government
Student Government exists to provide governance and advocacy on behalf of the student body.
Governing involves making decisions and recommending policies that affect the student body as well as working with faculty, and administrators in various committees to ensure responsible decision making on behalf of the student body.
All students are elected for one-year terms during the Spring Semester. Intention forms are available at the Office of Campus Life.
Structure
The Student Government Association is comprised of two bodies: The Executive Board and the Student Legislative Assembly.
