The Associated Students of Madison (ASM) is the official student governance body of UW-Madison, representing the needs of over 50,000 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!

How do I get involved with ASM?
Shared Governance
Wisconsin is unique in that state law requires the university to be governed in a shared manner, giving students direct power to jointly run the university with administrators, faculty, and staff.
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.
