Student Union
The IFE has a Student Union formed by students themselves. Financially supported from the school administration, the Union organizes socio-cultural activities as well as extra curricular academics activities.
The earlier structure of the Union was the Student Council which was relatively small, founded in 1997. Until 2001 there was no stability in student organization activity. In 2001, the Student Council changed its name to Student Union and started to expand. On April 10, 2004, Student Union changed its name to back to Student Council. The reason of this change is uncertain. The latest change of its name occurred on October 1, 2007: the Student Council changed its status as non-government organization hence called Student Union under the chairmanship of Yusuntsagaanii Nomin-Erdene. The new Union adapted its constitution from the Student Council of Mongolian University of Science and Technology. However, there was need of changing the constitution as more clarified and complex constitution was urgent task. In early May 2008, the first draft of the constitution was presented by Sukhbaataryn Unur during the first student assembly. Little amendments were made and finally the constitution was ratified by the student assembly and signed by steering committee members Gelegbaataryn Uuganbayar (chairman), Mendbayaryn Baigalmaa (vice chair), Uvgunkhuugiin Erdenebat, Tsogbayar, Zolchimeg on May 26, 2008.
According to the constitution, the Student Union is divided into three branches similar to the state by based on separation of powers. The Student Assembly, Executive Committee, Control Council are the legislature, executive, judiciary bodies of the Union respectively.
The Student Union is governed by the Student Assembly, although day-to-day workings of the Union are handled by the Executive Committee. Representatives for the Student Assembly, the Chair's Office are elected/appointed between October and November each academic year.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or union:
“The student who secures his coveted leisure and retirement by systematically shirking any labor necessary to man obtains but an ignoble and unprofitable leisure, defrauding himself of the experience which alone can make leisure fruitful.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The sacred obligation to the Union soldiers must not—will not be forgotten nor neglected.... But those who fought against the Nation cannot and do not look to it for relief.... Confederate soldiers and their descendants are to share with us and our descendants the destiny of America. Whatever, therefore, we their fellow citizens can do to remove burdens from their shoulders and to brighten their lives is surely in the pathway of humanity and patriotism.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
