The Student Government of St. John's College, Department of Nursing is comprised of all students enrolled in the College. The organization's focus is to promote personal and professional development and to ensure student input into relevant college programs and policies. Among the activities student officers and standing committees carry out are social events, community service, and student communications.
Class Organization
Student Government includes both Junior and Senior Classes. Each class has its own officers, elected by class members. Officers consist of a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. Election is conducted by written ballot early in the fall. A simple majority vote is needed to win an election. Each class organizes and holds meetings as necessary to carry out class functions. Attendance is important to contribute to the decision making about college functions and activities. Each class has a class advisor, appointed from College Assembly.
Each class organization contributes to the mission of St. Johns College, Department of Nursing and serves to:
