Student Body Congress

Where IU Students Come to Lead

Congressional Meetings: Streamed Mondays at 7:30 PM EDT LIVE on Twitter

Making sure the student voice is heard is our number one priority. Whether it’s advocating on behalf of IU students or proposing innovative ideas, Congress is devoted to supporting the betterment of student life.

Congress is comprised of positions based on each student’s residence or area of study. It is the duty of the representative to make sure their constituency is represented at weekly assembly and committee meetings.

Taking Action for IU Students

Congress meets every week in order to make sure progress is being made in the areas of student life and education. At committee meetings, resolutions are created by Congress members and voted on by all the following week at an assembly meeting. If a resolution is passed, it is the responsibility of Congress to meet with the necessary parties involved in order to effect change.

The 2020-2021 Congress is comprised of seven committees:

COVID-19 Relief
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Education
Oversight & Reform
Student Life
Sustainability
Title IX
