The Associated Students of Madison (ASM) is the official student governance body of UW-Madison, representing the needs of over 43,000 students. Students involved with ASM learn to be effective, engaged citizens who advocate for causes and for themselves. Because of ASM’s strong reliance on the energy of many students, you can really make a difference for campus, city, state, and national issues!

There is one deadline to be aware of for participating in the 28th Session of ASM:

How do I get involved with ASM?
Appointed Positions
ASM appoints students to paid positions on committees which allocate funds and space for student organizations. The ASM Nominations Board is now accepting applications for several appointed positions with the 28th session of ASM.
Leadership Positions
Put your student advocacy skills and passion to use in a paid leadership role with ASM. Leadership positions for the 2021-22 academic year will be selected in late April.
Shared Governance
Wisconsin law defines shared governance as giving students direct power to jointly run the university with administrators, faculty, and staff. Committees allow students to assist in creating influential campus and city policy.
Volunteer on Open Committees
There are many opportunities to advocate for students on ASM's open committees. Volunteers usually attend weekly meetings, contribute to planning strategic campaigns, mobilize other students, and participate in activism activities.
