Student Government
Student Government at the University of Providence offers a unique structure compared to what you might find at a larger university. Our Student Government consists of a dedicated team of 10 members: six executives and four ambassadors. The executive roles include President, Vice President, Parliamentarian, Secretary, Treasurer, and Public Relations Officer. The ambassador positions focus on key areas of student life, with representatives for Advancement, Athletics, Spiritual Life, and the First-Year Experience. Each member plays a vital role in our success, yet we are united in one purpose: to be THE VOICE of the student body.
Our mission is to represent and serve the student body by providing governance, advocacy, and services that foster student success, enrich campus life, and uplift our community. In recent years, Student Government has made significant contributions, such as installing free feminine hygiene product dispensers in all women’s restrooms on campus, raising and donating over $1,500 to the Providence Montana Health Foundation Cancer Center in support of Breast Cancer Awareness, and uniting our community to bring awareness to critical issues like mental health, domestic violence, disabilities, and suicide. By raising awareness and supporting one another we can stand ArgoStrong together!
