Student Government makes a difference at Austin Peay.
Whether it is a service project, student body advocacy or a campus safety upgrade,
Austin Peay's SGA is one of the most visible and tangible ways students can get involved
at the University.
Students from all six colleges and five classifications are welcome to run for any of the open Senate seats to better represent their constituents.
The Student Government Association serves as the voice of the student body. Comprised of the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive Branches, SGA meets weekly during the fall and spring semesters to address the needs and concerns of the students. Additionally, SGA conducts campus-wide events which brings together students, faculty, staff and community members to promote school spirit and provide community service for members of the greater Clarksville community.

The Spring Spectacular, hosted by the Student Government Association at APSU, is a vibrant celebration of the season with fun, music, games, and exciting activities. The event features spring-themed decorations, delicious food, and entertainment, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy time with friends. It’s an exciting way to welcome spring and embrace the new semester with energy and excitement at APSU.

G.H.O.S.T., or "Greater Halloween Options for Safe Trick-or-Treating," is a longstanding tradition at APSU, sponsored by Student Government Association. Although it was originally intended for the children of APSU students, faculty, and staff, G.H.O.S.T. has expanded to welcome families from the local community. APSU clubs and organizations, as well as groups from the community, dress up, hand out candy, and play games with children from Clarksville and the surrounding area.
