Student Engagement
Student Government
Manhattan University's Student Government plays a vital role in shaping student life on campus.
Student Government is the representative governing body of the student population at Manhattan University. Involvement in Student Government not only provides students with a platform to voice concerns but also provides opportunity to develop and strengthen leadership skills. Roles consist of both elected and appointed positions, with varying levels of commitment and responsibility to suit a student's schedule. Student Government elections are held in the Spring semester for the following academic year. Freshman positions are held at the beginning of the fall semester of its current academic year.
All officers can be contacted at studentgov@manhattan.edu.
Executive Committee
The executive committee consists of the student body president, executive vice president, vice president for social life, vice president for residential affairs, vice president for commuter affairs, vice president for finance, vice president for communication, vice president for club administration, and vice president for academic affairs. They are the everyday officers of Student Government, carrying out the will of the assembly. They are also full voting members (with the exception of the president) of the assembly.
