Student Government Organization (SGO) & Student Council
The Student Council is a forum composed of all campus club representatives. It is a venue to hear student grievances, concerns, comments and plans to improve Student Life at Ulster, and is to be a voice for SUNY Ulster students. The Student Government Organization maintains a cooperative relationship among students, faculty, staff, and the outside community and works to ensure that the social needs and responsibilities of students are being met. Together with the College Association's Board of Directors, the SGO oversees student clubs and organizations.The College Association fee paid as part of tuition entitles each student to full membership in the Student Council.
SGO officers, including President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Student Trustee are elected for a one-year term.
