Student Government

District Student Board (DSB)

The District Student Board is a student group made up of the current presidents and vice presidents of the four student governments in the district; two members-at-large from the Milwaukee Student Government and one member-at-large from the North, South and West Student Governments: the ranking MATC student board member of the American Student Association of Community Colleges; and the MATC Governor of the Wisconsin Student Government Association.

The organization meets at least once each month to coordinate recommendations on district legislation which addresses problems and concerns pertinent to students or education for the administrations consideration.

The board is also responsible for reviewing and confirming all student selections and appointments to any district, local, state, or national committee, organization, and/or conference including the student representative to the district board.

The efforts of this group open lines of communication between the district student body and the administration, creating a positive means for the resolution of student problems and the satisfaction of their needs.

Student Government

The Student Government is a most important part of student life. It is the government's goal to represent all students.

Representatives are free to make recommendations to the administration on any college issue. While the student government cannot make laws by its own action, its recommendations are given serious consideration by the administration.

Representatives may be excused from classes to attend regularly scheduled meetings, which are held twice monthly. Additional meetings may be held, but attendance at these meetings will not be the basis for an excused absence from class.
