Student Government (SG) is the main student governing organization on campus. The SG office is located on the first floor of the Student Union, extension 2910. The membership of Student Government consists of six elected representatives from each class; the Commuter Council, Inter-Residence Hall Council, and Off-Campus Student Council presidents; the four class presidents; and the Student Government President who, as an Associate Member, may vote only in the case of a tie. Meetings are open to all interested students and held every Wednesday night that classes are in session at 6 p.m. in the Student Union organizations' suite.

The Student Government serves as a coordinating agency. It formulates the student activities budget and is responsible for the supervision of expenditures within that budget as the budget is approved by the President of the University. Student Government plans and supervises the social calendar of the University. It is responsible for the planning of Homecoming Weekend and Winter Weekend. SG is also involved in numerous community service projects each year. It recommends regulations pertaining to student life to the Student Affairs Cabinet and consults with and advises the Deans. It also recommends student nominees for appointment to selected faculty committees. A copy of the Student Government Constitution, additional procedures, and a complete list of members is available on the Student Government home page, which can be accessed via the Wilkes home page www.wilkes.edu.
