Associated Students of Utah State University
The Associated Students of Utah State University (ASUSU) is an organization for the entire student body of USU. ASUSU acts as the liaison to University staff, faculty, and administration and works to energize and guide the quality of student life through a focus on academics and activities.
The Regional Campuses and Distance Education (RCDE) branch of ASUSU is organized into four service regions, each represented by an Executive Vice President. Campus representatives represent students at their campus or in a specified area in a regional council led by the Executive Vice President. An Executive council including each of the Executive Vice Presidents, as well as the RCDE President, meet regularly to discuss issues of concern for RCDE students. This body communicates directly with RCDE and Logan campus administration. RCDE student government officers will address student concerns, advance public relations, and serve student clubs, organizations, and cultural events.
The RCDE executive council meets every Monday from 4:00 to 5:00 pm via IVC at campuses all over the state in an open meeting to discuss issues and pass legislation. Students are welcome and encouraged to attend these meetings to voice their opinions and concerns. Contact your local representative for specific details about the locations of these meetings as they pertain to your particular campus.
