Rochester Student Association
UMR’s undergraduate student government.
The Rochester Student Association (RSA) works as the voice of the student body by advocating for students and bridging the gap between administration and students, which includes:
- Providing student input on University policy.
- Attending faculty meetings to represent the student body.
- Working with University administrators and the Board of Regents to raise awareness of student concerns.
Review RSA’s bylaws and constitution in RaptorLink.
RSA conducts annual elections to elect new board members. Information and the timeline are shared with students via the Raptor Report, UMR’s weekly student newsletter.
The biweekly, full-board RSA meetings are open to all students.
