Student Government Office

At the University of Mary, student leadership is not just an idea — it is a reality. With the Student Government Office now located in the Student Involvement Center, there is greater accessibility for students to communicate their thoughts and ideas to senators, who can bring forth these concerns to University administration on behalf of the students.  

Student Government is a collaborative group of 19 students dedicated to representing the interests and needs of the student body and working towards the good of the university as a whole.
