Student Government

The Associated Students of the University of Puget Sound (ASUPS) is not your average student body organization. With one of the highest per capita budgets of any college in the nation, ASUPS provides students with opportunities to shape their college experience and to make their education unique and powerful. Our student organization oversees all student media outlets including KUPS (our nationally ranked radio station) and the widely read student newspaper (The Trail). ASUPS also directs a wide array of campus programming including the scheduling of local and touring bands, lectures, and cultural events through its seven programming offices. ASUPS is also charged with the oversight of all 56 student-run clubs and organizations on campus.

In this capacity, ASUPS sponsors, directly and indirectly, hundreds of events every year that contribute to the academic and cultural experience of students. Whether a student chooses to run for election on the powerful student Senate, edit for The Trail, deejay at KUPS, or participate in the plethora of student clubs, students at Puget Sound have the power to shape life in ways unique to the Puget Sound experience and to experience tremendous personal growth while doing so.
