About Student Government (SG)

What Is SG?

The Student Government (SG) is UHCL's student government body and official student representative organization. It includes representatives from all registered student organizations, the Executive Council and the Senate. SG's three primary purposes are to:

• Advocate for and speak on behalf of the student body at large.
• Provide input to university administration on student and organizational issues.
• Elect/appoint students to university committees..

Mission

The Student Government shares the goal of the University of Houston-Clear Lake to produce students who are satisfied with their university experience and who are afforded the widest opportunities with that experience. The Student Government recognizes the need to provide a more responsive environment for students entering academia. Therefore, the mission of the Student Government, as it relates to the strategic design of the university, is to join the university in its efforts to create a climate which fosters academic excellence as well as professional development.

Vision

Our vision is to foster a vibrant and inclusive student government at the University of Houston Clear Lake (UHCL), where students are empowered to shape their university experience and become catalysts for positive change. We envision a student government that embraces diversity, cultivates leadership, and advocates for the needs and aspirations of all UHCL students. By fostering a sense of unity, collaboration, and engagement, we aim to build a stronger future for our campus community, one that embodies the spirit of a UHCL Hawk and reflects the collective voice and aspirations of UHCL students.

Senators

The SG Senate is composed of elected or appointed student representatives from each of UHCL academic colleges. The Senate considers SG legislation and focuses on campus and academic areas for improvement that would benefit students.

 

Shared Governance Committee Representatives

Student Government committee members help shape UHCL's priorities and projects, by serving as the student voice on three Shared Governance committees. UHCL's Shared Governance committees provide a collaborative avenue through which the constituent groups (students, faculty and staff) monitor and advise the university's president on matters of policy, in addition to assisting in the development of procedures.
