Functions

The mission of the BYU Student Service Association is to engage students in opportunities which cultivate a sense of belonging, refined skills and talents, divine-centered leadership, meaningful contributions, a spirit of honor, and a commitment to future service. This is done by organizing activities and programs that provide opportunities for organizers and participants to grow and develop consistently with the university mission. The association implements its programs in order to contribute to the central role of the academic experience in the life of the student, take an active educational role in support of the Honor Code and the university mission, foster service to the campus community, the local community, and the world, provide opportunities for students to learn and practice principles of leadership as taught by Christ, and maintain a system whereby students may council directly with administrators and faculty.

It is directed by the presidency, which is comprised of the President, the Executive Vice President, and five Vice Presidents. The Vice Presidents are the Assistant to the President for Administration, the Assistant to the President for Communications, the Activities Vice President, the Student Honor Vice President, and the Clubs Vice President. Appointed Executive Directors, Program Directors, and volunteers assist the presidency.
