Garnet Gate
Meeting and event information for Student Government can be found on Garnet Gate.
A Brief History
Since 1908, Student Government has had a distinguished history at the University of South Carolina. During the first years of the University of South Carolina, student life was dominated by the campus' literary societies. In later years, officers were elected to lead each academic class. Today, Student Government consists of four executive officers (president, vice president, speaker of the student senate, and treasurer), the president's cabinet, a senate, a freshman council, a constitutional council, an elections commission, a communications team, three lobbying agencies, and the members of university committees.
Current Leadership
The executive cabinet serves as an advisory board to the student body president and is comprised of students seeking to better the university through their particular areas of concentration.
