History 

The first students stepped on what was then the 有料盒子视频 College of Agriculture and School of Mines in 1922. These six students, including seven faculty members, formed original members of a student body that was dedicated to higher education and looking out for one another. As more students enrolled, this camaraderie between them grew enough to form their own student run organization in 1923. They named themselves the Associated Students of the University of 有料盒子视频, and chose John Sexton Shanly as their first Student Body President. The student government was present during the expansion of the student population under UA President William Wood and served as a valuable asset to the university administration regarding student issues and student engagement. ASUA was present while the 有料盒子视频 State Constitution was being drafted in 1956 in what would become Constitution Hall, then the student union building. The student government was also instrumental in getting various buildings and programs established for the benefit of the student body including the Wood Center, Student Recreation Center, and and Student Support Services. In recent years, the student government had to change their name due to the expansion of campuses throughout 有料盒子视频 and have added 鈥楩airbanks鈥 to specify the constituency that we currently represent.
