Associated Student Government

The Associated Student Government (ASG) serves the student body by presenting student input through elections, special activities, intramurals, clubs, organizations and local campus ASG Committees.

What does ASG do?

ASG does a variety of things throughout the fall and spring semesters. Homecoming elections on each campus are the first ASG activity in the fall. An active ASG is offered at all six campuses; Raymond, Rankin, Utica and Vicksburg campuses offer ASG Leadership classes that carry one hour of college credit. ASG meets once a week; contact advisor listed below or search for LEA 1811 classes. Meetings of the ASG are led by the officers and the instructor/advisor(s).
