Student Association
The Student Association of the University of Missouri-St. Louis is the student governance body composed of both elected student representatives from each school and college, and of organizational representatives from every recognized student organization which petitions for representation on the assembly.
The purpose of the Student Association is to represent University of Missouri-St. Louis student concerns at every level of governance within the university and at the state and local level. This is done by ensuring adequate and capable student representation within the University Senate, the policy-making and governance body of the University of Missouri-St. Louis. In addition, Student Government, the policy-making arm of the Student Association, has its own standing committees to address student concerns. On the local and state levels, Student Government leaders visit various officials to address student concerns and priorities throughout the year. For more information call (314) 516-5105 or drop by 375 Millennium Student Center.
