Student Government

All full-time students (12 hours or more) of Bethel University are voting members of the Bethel University Student Association. The governing body of the association is the Student Council (StuCo).

StuCo promotes student and university-community interests through self-government and student organizations. Membership in the council includes its four executive officers (president, vice president, treasurer, and recording secretary) five students from the freshman and sophomore classes (underclass officers), five students from the junior and senior classes (upperclass officers), four resident assistants, and the chairpersons of the four permanent student committees (Student Spiritual Life, Social Life, Multicultural Life, and Media). Through its standing committees, StuCoworks with Student Development and the Alumni Board to plan and promote traditional student activities, as well as aid student-founded clubs and organizations achieve their goals. StuCo also provides student representatives for permanent faculty committees.
