Student Congress

The Asbury Student Congress consists of four branches: Student Governance, Student Activities, Student Intercultural Programs, and Spiritual Life. Opportunities for over 100 students exist through all three of these branches and their committees, as well as through the class government system which also falls under the ASC.

Branch Secretary – Each branch has a secretary which reports to the respective vice president. This person is responsible for keeping minutes of branch meetings and helping with correspondence and proposals relating to his particular branch of ASC.

Committee Chairs – Each branch of ASC operates through the work of specific committees. Student Chairs are appointed by the vice president to lead each of those committees. Students interested in serving on any particular committee should contact the committee chair or respective vice president. Committees consist of:

Governance – Elections, Parking & Safety, Accessibility, Issues & Awareness, Food Services, Academic & Institutional Issues, Campus Spaces
Student Activities – Concerts, Movies, Screamin’ Eagles, Special Events, Recreation
Spiritual Life – WHAM, student chapel, discipleship, prayer
