Student Government, Incorporated, is an organization that
strives to accommodate the needs of the students. It is the
organization that oversees, and helps all the clubs and groups
under its umbrella. Student Government also acts as a liaison
between students and administration. If students have concerns,
Student Government is always willing to help provide a strong voice
for them, no matter the issue at hand. To encourage social
interaction among the student body, Student Government plans,
facilitates, and organizes staple events such as the Opening Year
BBQ, which greets the new incoming freshmen with St. John’s
wonderful atmosphere and welcomes back returning students, and
Faculty Spotlight Dinners; which recognizes a faculty member who
actively engages and interacts with students. These are only a
select few of the events that Student Government works hard to
provide for the students. As the governing body of the student
organizations, Student Government also provides funding to
organizations so that groups can operate and even plan their own
events.
The Student Government’s infrastructure consists of five
executive board members: President, Vice President, Secretary,
Treasurer, and Student Union Chair. Under the executive board are
10 Senate positions. These positions are broken down by class:
Sophomore, Junior, and Senior; as well as school: College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences, School of Education, Tobin School of
Business, and College of Professional Studies. The three remaining
seats are filled by one resident representative, and two commuter
representatives. Collectively, these 15 seats are filled by
students who are elected by their peers to serve as representatives
of their respective positions.
Student Government, Inc., is a prestigious organization deeply
rooted in the values of St. John’s University: Truth, Respect,
Opportunity, Leadership, and Service. Student Government is St.
John's University.
