ASG's Vision
As the recognized central student organization, the Associated Student Government of Santa Clara University will facilitate campus collaboration and will promote the interest of students to further cultivate an engaged and conscientious community of students.
We work to facilitate change and provide awareness through active outreach to the student body and cohesiveness with university administration.
We encourage student involvement and leadership development through registered student organizations, university committees, positions, and active engagement within the Santa Clara community
