Let it be acknowledged that Oregon State University in Corvallis is located within the traditional homelands of the Marys River or Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya. Following the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855, Kalapuya people were forcibly removed to reservations in Western Oregon. Today, living descendants of these people are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians. Indigenous people are valued, contributing members of the Oregon State community and represent multiple sovereign tribes among students, faculty, staff and alumni.
ASOSU Student Government is the official institution of student democracy at Oregon State University. We manage the allocation of incidental fees to student-facing services. We provide a voice to students and advocate on the issues that they care about. We hold stake in the deliberation and enactment of campus-wide policy, bringing the interests of the student body to the table.
ASOSU officially cooporates with OSU administration and faculty in creating and changing university policies. Under the Shared Governance Agreement, we provide student representation in the Board of Trustees, Faculty Senate, the OSU President's cabinet, and other campus committees, where our members advocate on behalf of student interests.
ASOSU is responsible for the management of $30 million (FY23) in incidental fees paid by OSU students. The annual fee setting cycle determines the fee charged in the next year and the amount of funding and resources for student services such as clubs, cultural centers, basic needs programs, and facilities every year.
ASOSU members connect regularly with government officials at the local, state and federal level. We advocate for larger-scale policies that benefit OSU students and higher education more broadly.
Jax Richards, the current student member of the OSU Board of Trustees, will be leaving his position after he graduates and completes his term on June 30. The Board of Trustees is the highest governing body of OSU responsible for university policies such as budgets, conduct, tuition, and campus development. If you want to become the next student trustee, apply here.
Voting in the 2023 ASOSU Election is now open until Friday, March 10. All OSU students are eligible to vote. Check your ONID email for your personal ballot. Visit the elections page for the official ASOSU voter guide and get informed on the candidates and their platforms.
Finals are coming up soon, which means that stress and mental health are going to be top concerns for students. Be on the look out for ASOSU during week 10 while we hand out wellness bags around campus! These will contain snacks, stress-relief items, health aids, and information about resources to care for your mental health.
Connect with sustainability experts, planners, and advocates from across the OSU community. Discuss and develop strategies to build a more environmentally conscious and sustainable campus.
Thursdays (recurring), 4-5pm in SEC 258.
