What does Student Government Do?

The Executive Branch advocates for students and serves in a quasi-administrative role on campus; Student Congress passes resolutions expressing the will of students, appropriates student fees for use by student groups, and makes amendments to the Student Code; and the Honor System, including the Honor Court and the office of the Student Attorney General, bring about and decide cases when a student is accused of breaking the Honor Code.

How is the Executive Branch structured?

The executive branch is composed of a number of committees; you can find a list on the "Committees" page. Each committee is led by a chair or co-chairs, who serve on the Cabinet and work to complete the platform of the Student Body President. A group of officers also serves at the discretion of the President. In addition, the Student Body Vice President manages a large slate of external appointees to various campus boards and committees.
