Representatives

Members of the student body at large may attend and participate in meetings of the DSG.

To continuously work on behalf of DSG, such students must be recognized as representatives. If a student attends three (3) Student Government meetings throughout the term (every Sunday at 7 pm in Collis 101), they are eligible to be appointed as a representative. There is no limit on the number of representatives DSG can appoint.

Representatives are non-voting members of the DSG and shall be held to the same standards of conduct as elected Senators.

Attend our weekly meetings and email student.government@dartmouth.edu if interested in becoming a representative!
