Governance is the process and structure through which the College functions day to day and sets direction for the future. It includes trustees, administrators, faculty and students. The Student Government is an actively functioning body of students representing the full time undergraduate student population.

Student Government promotes an attitude of responsible self-governance through its Constitution and Bylaws. By coordinating social functions and representing students, Student Government provides an opportunity for all students to participate in the Mount today as well as to become involved in charting the future of the College. This involvement promotes the general welfare by developing community and opening channels of communication.

Student Government acts as a liaison between students and the administration. As outlined in its constitution, Student Government is organized into three branches: the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. Through its Senate and Executive Committee student proposals are brought to the Vice President for Student Affairs, the President of the College and the Board of Trustees. Both the Student Senate and the Executive Committee are in constant contact with the Vice President for Student Affairs, who acts as advisor to Student Government.

Student Government meetings are open to all students and students are encouraged to keep its members informed and to participate in its functions.
