ASWSU Service and Programming Committees
There are 12 service and programming committees that offer opportunities for students to get involved and make an impact on their community. These committees host weekly to bi-weekly meetings where they plan events, conferences, community outreach and ways to get involved. While committees do not function as a governing body, they are essential to ASWSU for bringing awareness to issues students face, advocating for students, and providing a welcoming community to all WSU students.
Additionally, there are two auxiliaries within ASWSU that provide services to students and the WSU community as a whole. The committees are Student Legal Services and KZUU 90.7FM. Membership in these organizations is different from regular clubs or committees. They do not meet weekly, but rather provide students with opportunities for employment or participation.
