Associated Students, Washington State University, Student organization at Washington State University in Pullman, United States.
Associated Students of Washington State University is the student government body representing students across five campuses: Pullman, Vancouver, Everett, Tri-Cities, and Spokane. The organization operates through an elected executive branch and a senate composed of representatives from various colleges and academic divisions.
The organization was established on June 30, 1928, creating the first formal student representation at the university level. It later separated from the Washington Student Association to focus exclusively on the interests of students at Washington State University.
The organization includes senators from various colleges such as Carson College of Business and Voiland College of Engineering to represent different academic communities.
Students can participate in spring elections to choose or seek leadership positions within the organization. This involvement provides a channel for students to advocate for their academic and social concerns across the university system.
The group created the Cougar Coalition after breaking away from the Washington Student Association to concentrate solely on this university's student needs. This restructuring allowed them to tailor their work more directly to local student concerns.
