STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
All students of Claflin University are encouraged to be active members of the Student Government
Association. The office of the Student Government Association is located in Room 112, Campus
Center. The role of this organization is to represent the students in matters relating to the general
welfare of the student body in accordance with the powers invested in it by the University
Administration and/or Board of Trustees. The Student Government Association is the official
representative of the students and offers opportunities to share concerns, express opinions, jointly
participate in the resolution of problems and make recommendations to the proper officials of the
University. The association and its representatives on committees provide students a role in
institutional decision making. In order to insure that there will be consistent contributions from
students in the policy making of the University, a number of committees have been established, with
proportional representation from this group on each committee. These committees make
recommendations to the faculty or to the executive committee of the University: academic affairs
committee, admissions committee, athletic committee, discipline committee, financial committee, and
library committee.
MISTER CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY
The 2002-2003 Student Government Association introduced Mister Claflin University to showcase a
Claflin man at his finest. Claflin produces not only young, intelligent, and mature males but also men
of distinction. This idea was modeled after Miss Claflin University, the female ambassador for Claflin
that has been implemented for many years.
Mister Claflin is not just another title but it is a privilege and honor to fulfill the duties and
responsibilities to the institution. He is responsible for serving on the student activities board and he is
also a student ambassador for the Student Government Association. Mister Claflin must perform a
minimum of three sponsored activities per semester and a total of six per year. He must also perform a
community service effort along with the Student Government Association for the span of the entire
academic year. In addition, for a competition or showcase that involves all Mister Universities or
Colleges, he would attend as a representative for Claflin University just like the Miss Hall of Fame
held in Atlanta, Georgia annually.
