Student Government

The Student Organization fosters a spirit of closeness, understanding and cooperation among all students, through activities and self-regulation. It provides a medium of communication and action between students and between students and faculty and staff.

The Student Organization provides a formal structure which contributes to the general welfare of the student by assisting students in developing independence, self-expression and leadership. Student Organization supports activities that meet student needs and demonstrates commitment to the community through involvement in health and social issues. The Student Organization plans and implements social activities, community service projects and other events and programs for the student body.

All students are members of the Student Organization which meets monthly during the academic year. Leadership positions are available for those students elected as officers by their peers. Elections are held each semester.
