Historical note

The Undergraduate Government of Boston College (UGBC), a student government formed in 1968, was created to enrich the lives of students attending Boston College. Its purpose is to serve on behalf of students' interests and to help cultivate an engaged student community.

The mission of the UGBC is to serve as a representative body to the larger Boston College community, and to lead the student body by providing social, cultural, formational, and educational programs and activities that expand the scope of the educational experience by providing the most effective use of student money and effort. The UGBC also works to inform students of issues which are their concern and to eliminate confusion about those issues, by representing the general student body to the surrounding community, the Board of Trustees, the President, the Administration, and any other appropriate body or organization.
