Have you ever wondered what your Student Activities fee goes toward? The Mt. SAC student government, known as
Associated Students, is where that decision is made. Each year, elected and appointed student officers are given the
responsibility of deciding how and when this money is spent. Some of the money is spent on student activities, but it is
also used to fund various vital services and programs that students have come to depend on. But it isn’t all about money.
Associated Students is also about letting your voice be heard on campus, leadership opportunities, personal growth, and
about creating a unique and fun college experience. Officers of the Associated Students develop interpersonal relationships
and leadership skills. General Elections for A.S. Executive Officers, and the Student Trustee take place each spring.
Positions-recruitment for A.S. Senate and Student Court Officers is ongoing throughout the academic year. To learn more
