About ASWSU
In order to better serve the students, ASWSU is divided into three distinct, separate branches: the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches.
The Executive Branch consists of a President and Vice President, the only two officials who are elected by the entire student body, who serve as the main spokesmen of undergraduate students at WSU. They appoint a cabinet, led by a Chief of Staff, to help improve and create university policies, events and activities to benefit the students.
The Legislative Branch consists of a eighteen person Senate, with one or more representatives elected from each living area and several at-large seats. Senators are expected to frequently discuss issues and concerns with their constituents, create legislation and resolution representing the needs and desires of students, work on individual projects benefiting their constituents and serve on a variety of University Senate Committees.
Judicial Branch consists of five independent officers who make up the ASWSU Judicial Board. The Judicial Branch is most active during the ASWSU elections held annually each spring.
