Part of the University of Oregon Division of Student Life, Student Government Engagement and Success (SGES) empowers students to become future community leaders through experiential activities in governance, self-advocacy, and leadership. Our team of professional and student staff members coordinates services and support for ASUO's Officers, the student leaders within ASUO-Recognized Student Organizations, and students who find themselves in adverse positions with the university.
Our effort has a positive impact internally as well as institutionally.
Internal Impact
- Personalized Support: We provide tailored advising, coaching, and support to ASUO Officers, student organization leaders, and students, helping them navigate university processes and strengthen their self-advocacy skills.
- Educational Programs: We design and deliver education, leadership development, and continuity programs that equip students with the knowledge and tools to advocate effectively for themselves and their communities.
- Administrative Oversight: We manage the administrative and financial support services of ASUO, ensuring student initiatives adhere to university and ASUO-managed policies, rules, and standards as well as state and federal law and safety standards.
- Career Readiness: We offer meaningful work experiences that build career-ready skills for students employed within our department.
Institutional Impact
- Student Engagement: We champion the value of student engagement by educating the campus community on its contributions to university life and advocating for its ongoing support.
- Leadership Continuity: We strengthen the continuity of student government leadership by providing transitional support, particularly during ASUO’s annual elections, empowering students to pursue their goals and advocate for their needs.
- Compliance and Alignment: We ensure that student-led initiatives align with institutional standards and comply with state and federal regulations, promoting accountability and sustainability.
