The Conference on Student Government Associations is a 26-year-old annual convention of college student governments in the United States. It annually hosts about 550 delegates along with an even greater number of non-delegate student government officials. The purpose of the conference is to improve student government associations by coordinating expert speakers, workshops, and roundtable discussions of groups. The conference is held at Texas A&M University.
Famous quotes containing the words conference, student, government and/or associations:
“Politics is still the man’s game. The women are allowed to do the chores, the dirty work, and now and then—but only occasionally—one is present at some secret conference or other. But it’s not the rule. They can go out and get the vote, if they can and will; they can collect money, they can be grateful for being permitted to work. But that is all.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“In the student sensuality is a sluggish habit of mind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We have passed the time of ... the laisser-faire [sic] school which believes that the government ought to do nothing but run a police force.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“There is ... no glamor at banquets—I mean the large formal banquets of big associations and societies. There is only a kind of dignified confusion that gradually unhinges the mind.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
