Student Government Elections

Every year during the Spring Semester, campus-wide elections are held for students to elect the Student Government for the following school year. Students are encouraged to serve in elective office and participate in student governance at Queensborough. Student representation in College and Student Committees provides the opportunity for student views to be expressed and heard, and to have a direct impact on virtually every aspect of College life. Involvement with campus affairs gives students the ideal setting to test out ideas and abilities, and develop the leadership, interpersonal, and organizational skills needed for a successful future.

The Election Process gives students the chance to practice their democratic rights and become part of the larger community, supplementing the classroom experience through extracurricular programs, affording students an exposure to and appreciation of individual differences. Students will enhance their decision-making, goal setting, and negotiating skills, leading to an improved academic, professional, and personal environment.
