Student Government at Fairmont State actively seeks to supplement the academic atmosphere with intellectual, cultural, and social activities. Student Government members are involved in all aspects of life on campus and work cooperatively with the college administration.

Every segment of the student body is represented in the Government. Members are elected each spring by the student body and receive special training for their positions. The association is comprised of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, parliamentarian, representatives of the four classes and other student organizations. A faculty advisor is Laurie Johnston, Director of Student Activities.

Student Government meets every Thursday at 12:30 p.m. in 128 Hardway Hall. All meetings are open and any student is welcome to attend.
