Representing Wake Forest students since 1923
Who We Are
Wake Forest Student Government is the official voice of the student body, representing both the undergraduate college and the School of Business. Elected by their peers or appointed by a designated council, our members bring a diversity of experiences, perspectives, and passions that allow us to advocate for every dimension of the vibrant Wake Forest community.
Central to this organization is a commitment to hearing student voices so that we can champion their concerns and effectively bridge the gap between the student body and university leadership. We empower student organizations, support campus initiatives, and enhance campus life by fostering a dynamic and inclusive Wake Forest.
Student Government weekly Senate meetings are held Tuesdays at 7:00 PM in Benson 401. They are open to all Wake Forest students, faculty, and staff.
Now in our 102nd year, Student Government continues to evolve as a voice for the student body, focused on transparency, community, and impact. The organization depends on committed leadership and takes pride in staying closely connected to campus life and student well-being.
What We’re Prioritizing This Year…
The recently established Sustainability Committee is programming its inaugural reusable tote bag initiative in order to reduce waste during senior move-in week.
The Physical Planning committee is answering various concerns regarding dining and transportation. You can send those concerns to our dining and transportation forms.
The Academic Committee is working with the Office of Academic Advising to plan and execute a renewed Major Minor Fair.
The DEI Committee is developing an Affinity Council of leaders across identity groups on campus to ensure comprehensive representation of student needs.
