While GWStudentAssociation.com is dedicated more so to the formal workings of the organization, and gwsafunds.com serves to provide a level of transparency to the funding process, ourgwsa.com is about the personal side of student government on campus.  Our one stop for all the resources that the Student Association has to offer.

The Student Association’s goal is to make all of our college experiences just a little more enjoyable.  Sometimes it takes big sweeping changes, but sometimes it’s the little things that make the big difference.  Need a hand navigating the university’s red tape?  Have a question about registration?  Roommate trouble? Want to get more involved on campus? or if you just have an idea that you think our peers can benefit from, ourgwsa.com is the student help desk that’s open 24/7.
