Our Mission

The University of North Carolina Association of Student Governments is a student led advocacy group whose main purpose is to ensure that the benefits of The University of North Carolina are extended to the people of North Carolina, as far as practicable, free of expense.

The University of North Carolina Association of Student Governments is a non partisan, multi-campus organization dedicated to the service of North Carolina's students. It encompasses the 16 diverse constituent institutions' student government associations. Each shares in the overall mission of the Association. That mission is to:

  • Develop and maintain open lines of communication between institutions, preserve each student's right to a quality education, and promote the issues deemed beneficial to students.
  • Actively promote affordable, quality higher education within the State of North Carolina.
  • Act as a liaison between the students and the Governor of the State of North Carolina, the North Carolina General Assembly, the Office of the President of the University of North Carolina, and other state and federal officials.
  • Represent the students of the University before The University of North Carolina Board of Governors.
  • Address and act on the collective interests of students enrolled in member institutions.
  • Involve students in the political process by educating students on the issues affecting them.
  • Actively involve students in the area of governmental relations so as to promote the passage or defeat of legislation, which the Association deems relevant to the students, their institutions, and higher education in North Carolina.
  • Promote and maintain conditions conducive to academic freedom.
  • Promote unity and cooperative efforts between the sixteen public institutions of The University of North Carolina.
  • Provide services and benefits to members of the Association.

In the fulfillment of this mission, the Association shall seek an efficient use of student fees and other resources to ensure the highest quality in its service to the students of the State.
