The Park Student Government Association, or PSGA, is the student government for Park University that aims to represent the student body. Within PSGA, we aim to act as a liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff here at Park. We represent the expressed wishes of the students by addressing and attempting to resolve student and campus issues in ways which PSGA deems necessary. We promote interest and engagement in, as well as supervise, general student activities related to PSGA. Throughout the year, we aid in funding both clubs and organizations with planning events for students as well as aid in special funding request to expand the experience of students. Every member of PSGA follow the By-Laws and Constitution set forth by the senators and student body.
Meetings are often held on Fridays at 12:15PM in the Louise Morden Board Room (across the printing center). Committees meeting are help in the same location following the General Assembly meeting. All students are welcome to attend!

“Serving on the PSGA senate has helped me grow in undergraduate beyond anything I would have thought imaginable.
