Student Government at Gordon College

The Gordon College Student Association (GCSA) is a student elected body that serves as a bridge between students and administration and meets weekly as a legislative forum, an executive cabinet, series of working council, and appointed committees.

"We, the Student Body of Gordon College, establish this constitution for student administrative and representative body to be known as the Gordon College Student Association (GCSA). The GCSA shall endeavor to honor the Lord our God and serve the community of Gordon College by enhancing the lives of students academically, spiritually, physically, and socially. By the authority given to it by the students and the administration of the College, the GCSA shall hereby be the official, representative voice of the students to the administration, faculty, staff, and trustees of the College, and to outside concerns; and the overseeing administration for all student organizations chartered by the GCSA." —GCSA Constitution Preamble

They work to:

  • Represent the student body to the administration, faculty, staff, and outside concerns
  • Administer, fund, and evaluate student clubs and organizations
  • Provide support and advocacy for student interests
  • Organize or endorse student publications:
    • The Idiom—an art and poetry journal
    • The VOX—a newsletter of student voices

THE LINES OF COMMUNICATION
The GCSA works to bring about changes desired by the student community. The GCSA has initiated a number of means of communication between students and the rest of the Gordon College community. They include student town hall meetings, appointment of students to various academic and administrative committees, and a network of Representatives-at-Large and other officers who interact with other students all over campus to discuss their concerns. The GCSA also has an office in the lower level of the Lane Student Center where visitors are always welcome. Hours are posted on the door, and on the GCSA campus website.
