A government’s role is to provide infrastructure and leadership that incentivizes its citizens toward principles that contribute to a flourishing life. Though very different from the ruling body of a nation, student government is not exempt from this mission-centric design. student government exists to build a better Baylor and is guided by a set of foundational principles that are made known through the mission of the university, namely the pursuit of “academic excellence,” “Christian commitment” and “a caring community.”
