Our Past
Student Government was founded here at UNCG in 1914 as a student-run organization that serves as the official voice of the student body. We attempt to better the student experience at UNCG by functioning as a governing body and advocacy group. Involved in policy-making, adjudication, programming, lobbying, community services, and countless other activities, we work alongside administrators to address student concerns.
