The Livingston College Governing Association (LCGA), the student government body of the college, was organized in the spring of 1975. The purposes of the student government are to create an effective liaison among faculty, administration, and students; to coordinate student activities on the campus; to represent the needs of the students wherever and whenever possible; and to allocate student activities fees to student clubs and organizations. Elections for association members are held in October and April of each year. The LCGA maintains an office in the Livingston Student Center. Membership in the LCGA and attendance at its meetings are open to all students.
