Associated Student Body

The Associated Study Body (ASB) is a student government structure that consists of the ASB Board of Directors, Student Congress, and Board of Review. The purpose of the Associated Student Body as outlined in its Constitution is:

To provide for meaningful student-sponsored educational, social, cultural, religious, and service opportunities for member students while fostering constructive communications and interaction between members of administration and faculty. To coordinate the activities of student organizations and fostering good relations between ASB members and the community within Point Loma. And to provide opportunities in which members may develop leadership qualities.

To receive a current copy of any official ASB document, please contact the ASB executive secretary at asbexecutivesecretary@pointloma.edu.

The PLNU staff advisor to ASB is Melissa Burt-Gracik, Director of Community Life.
