Student Life and Activities
Student organizations and other activities provide co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities on campus in leadership and personal growth. Students are encouraged to participate in a variety of campus student organizations and activities with the intent to develop leadership skills as well as grow spiritually. The following groups and activities are designed to meet students’ needs and interests:
Student Government Association
The Indiana Wesleyan University Student Government Association (SGA) represents students in matters of self-government and problems of mutual interest to the student body and the university. Student Government is comprised of an executive board (president and cabinet), representatives for academic divisions, and representatives from student organizations. The Indiana Wesleyan University Student Government Association represents the concerns of the students to the university administration and selects students to sit as members on university faculty committees.
Student Activities Council
The Student Activities Council (SAC) consists of student coordinators who organize campus activities. SAC activities are designed to promote spiritual growth, develop and maintain school spirit, and provide fun and meaningful programs for students, faculty, staff, and the IWU community. Activities planned by the council range in interest, appeal, and complexity. Traditional events include Homecoming activities, dances, Family Weekend, SAC Weekend, and Spotted Cow Music Festival. The purpose of the Student Activities Council is to provide opportunities for students to interact socially, spiritually, and intellectually outside of the classroom.

More than 30 student organizations are organized and run by students and are designed to meet a variety of interests.
