ASG discusses and acts on ways to make Northwestern an overall better experience for students. We work with Northwestern administrators to bring change to the university, but we also provide services directly to students. ASG is comprised of a student Senate - broadly representative of the varied student interests at Northwestern - an executive board, and 8 working committees that address issues affecting student life, academics, relations with Evanston, student groups, and more. ASG believes in building a better Northwestern.
