Student Role in Campus Governance

As integral members of the Northwest community, students, through Northwest's various student government organizations, participate in the college's decision-making and planning processes. A student government organization exists on each Northwest campus to discuss issues of importance to students and to make recommendations to the college administration. Such recommendations are reviewed by the administration and incorporated into college planning.

In addition to student government organizations, students are represented on a variety of institutional committees. By active participation in these and other campus decision-making bodies, students assist Northwest in improving and expanding its services to the campus community.

Student Government Organizations

Formal Student Government Associations exist on both the Senatobia campus and at the DeSoto Center. At Lafayette-Yalobusha Technical Center a Campus Senate exists composed of elected representatives from the different educational programs located at the center. The Senate meets regularly to discuss issues of interest to students and to plan programs for center students.

Student Government Association - Senatobia Campus
The Student Executive Council (SEC) consists of 10 members chosen by the general student population. Six members will be chosen in April of the spring semester and four members will be chosen in the fall semester. The Council is responsible for overseeing all areas of general student life and for making recommendations to the administration.

For further information regarding nominations, specific duties, constitution, and opportunities for involvement please see the Director of Campus Life and Housing.

Student Government Association - DeSoto Center
The DeSoto Center Student Government Association is composed of a president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, parliamentarian, and two representatives from the sophomore and freshman classes. These officers and representatives meet regularly to discuss issues of importance to students at the DeSoto Center. SGA members also assist with student events at the center.

For information regarding qualifications, specific duties, nominations, etc. please see the SGA advisor for the DeSoto Center.
