About LSU Student Government

Student Government's sole purpose is to serve the students at Louisiana State University.  On this site, you should be able to find the most up to date news originating from Student Government. It is the voice of the student body on matters ranging from university administration to parking and transportation, from academic affairs to student life.

With regard to every policy that the University puts into effect, members of SG not only advocate student needs and rights but also have integral roles in the development of these policies. Members of SG specialize in every aspect of student life and relations and spend countless hours ensuring that the needs of students are met. University administrators come to SG for feedback on new initiatives, policies, and programs.  SG also appoints members to sit on university regulatory commissions to make sure that student input is spread across the university spectrum.

In addition to the roles of advising and advocating, SG controls approximately $5.5 million of student and state funding to support student initiatives such as the LSU Student Technology Fee; student organization support through PSIF, ORF, and other programs; the Coca-Cola fund for new initiatives; and the SG Newspaper Initiative that provides free copies of The Advocate, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times.  

In short, SG touches every part of student life on LSU campus, both in the spotlight and in the less known spaces where University policy is created.

You will find the pages of this site filled with information about the specific ways Student Government serves students. Please use this site as a resource to stay informed about the ways that Student Government influences student life.
