Student Government

Peconic 110, (631) 548-2581

Student Government is concerned with the development, welfare and governance of all students, student

organizations and student groups at the Eastern Campus. Student Government:

• Provides the means whereby students may express themselves collectively in the governance of the

campus and College

• Provides the vehicle for communication between the student body and the campus and College faculty

and staff

• Takes leadership in the development, promotion and coordination of student activities

• Offers students the opportunity to develop their personal skills in leadership and group management

The Student Government on the Eastern Campus consists of an operating board of three officers (president,

vice-president, and secretary/treasurer) and an unlimited number of general members. Officers are elected

during the spring semester each year. To become a general board member, a student must attend two (2)

of the first three (3) meetings of the semester or, after the third meeting, be appointed by majority vote of the

general membership.
