MSG works toward refiinng the policies and regulations of the Utniversity and the Constitution
to accommodate the changing needs of the student association. By striving toward bettering
campus life, MSG creates and organizes events and activities for the general student body.
STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN INSTITUTIONAL DECISION-MAKING
Most standing University committees have several students serving on them to provide input
into the decision making process. These students are normally appointed by each committee at
the start of the school year. McMurry Student G(overnment appoints students to various Board
of Trustee committees for the fall and spring meetings. In addition, at various times during the
school year, open forums are conducted by the president and other University officials to gain
student input and feelings on issues as they arise. McMurry Student Government interacts with
the administration throughout the school year on student concerns and needs.
STUDENT ASSOCIATION OF MCMURRY UNIVERSITY
The Student Association is composed of all McMurry students enrolled for at least 12 semester
hours. Those carrying less than twelve semester hours are affiliate members of the Student
Association.
The McMurry Student Government (MSG) consists of those students elected by the entire
Student Association as their representatives. This body meets each Monday at 5:30 p.m. MSG
is always happy to hear the ideas and feelings of students. Suggestions can be brought by the
MSG office in the Garrison United Methodist Campus Center at any time.
Some of the activities involving the MSG include sponsoring various social activities, planning
Homecoming, creating better relations between McMurry and other colleges, providing for
student elections, assisting in Student Preview, participating in various conferences, financing
activities of the Student Association, and representing student opinions on campus issues.
