Student Government

Serve Your Fellow Students as a Senator in Student Government

At the University of Mary, student leadership is not just an idea — it is a reality. Student Government is a collaborative group of 19 student senators dedicated to representing the interests and needs of the student body and working towards the good of the university as a whole. Our office in the Student Involvement Center provides easy access for students to communicate their thoughts and ideas to senators to share with University administration on behalf of the students.
