Student Government
What can Student Government do for you?
The Student Government serves as the liaison between the student body, the faculty, and the college administration. Comprised of twenty-seven senators representing each class year, the Student Government strives to address the needs of the students in collaboration with the requisite administrators and departments of the college.
How can we help?
The Student Government meets on Thursdays at 7 p.m.
