Arts Council
The goal of the American University Arts Council is to open the doors of Student Government resources to arts groups on campus. This spans from music to drama and even writing. The job of the Council, led by the Chair, is to use the resources of Student Government to elevate the profile of the arts on the campus of American University. This will be done through cooperation of all arts groups on campus to achieve a common goal for the arts at AU. The Arts Council Chair works under the guise of the President of the Student Government to help develop policies through the Student Government that will work to achieve the goal of elevating the arts. The Chair is also responsible for planning an Arts Week in the Spring Semester.

Outreach
As Outreach Director, it is my main responsibility to serve as the liaison between the Student Government and campus clubs and organizations. As the year progresses I will do my best to increase communication between the Student Government and organizations on campus to make this year as fulfilling as possible. Please do not hesitate to contact me either through e-mail at outreach@ausg.org or stopping by MGC 262. I look forward to working with each organization this year and getting to know all of you personally.
Academic Affairs
The Department of Academic Affairs is responsible for sustaining the Student Government’s advocacy for the best possible undergraduate academic experience. In doing this, the department fulfills two roles: pursuing the policy objectives of the Student Government and serving as a resource for students who have questions about navigating the university’s vast academic structure.

Archives
The Archivist is a person who is in charge of documenting and recording the events of the Student Government throughout the year. They spend time attending events and passing on events and ideas to future Student Government administrations. The Archivist position has been vacant for some time, so I will be spending a good deal of time archiving what we have done in the past in addition to the events we will be holding this year.
