Mission
The University of Dallas Student Government functions as the representative assembly
of the UD student community. The purpose of UD Student Government is threefold:
- Promote the general welfare of the University and the Student Body through its support
of the University's mission, ideals, and values.
- Communicate student concerns and interests to appropriate University Committees and
to the University Administration.
- Sponsor programs and services to enhance campus life.
Guided by the mission of the University and in accordance with the teachings and principles
of the Catholic Church, Student Government strives to foster a healthy and enriched
campus environment and to build up a strong student community. The representatives
in Student Government are dedicated to enhancing the quality of student life by promoting
both the academic and social traditions of the University. Student Government is committed
to serving the interests of the UD student, and it is important to stress that those
of us in Student Government are always willing to hear your voice so we can bring
your ideas and opinions to the rest of the University community. All of the members
of Student Government look forward to helping students more involved in campus life,
and so we encourage you to contact us with any questions that you might have.

The President particularly meets with administrators, and the Vice President presides
over the Senate. The Treasurer ensures responsible handling of SG funds, and the Secretary
is responsible for keeping records, publicizing the accomplishments of the Senate,
and coordinating the Freshman Mentoring Program.
