Student Government

All full-time students (12 hours or more) of Bethel University are voting members of the Bethel University Student Association. The governing body of the association is the Student Council (StuCo).

StuCo promotes student and university-community interests through self-government and student organizations. Membership in the council includes its four executive officers (president, vice president, treasurer, and recording secretary) three students from the freshman and sophomore classes (underclass officers), three students from the junior and senior classes (upperclass officers),  and the chairpersons of the three permanent student committees (Student Spiritual Life, Campus Activities, and a Commuter Representative). StuCo works with Student Development and the Alumni Board to plan and promote traditional student activities, contribute a senior gift, act as a liaison to university administration, as well as aid student-founded clubs and organizations in achieving their goals. StuCo also provides student representatives for permanent faculty committees.
