Student Life
The Office of Student Life oversees all student-administered interests. There are a variety of on-campus and off-campus activities that are sponsored by the university. More than 80 clubs and student organizations exist, including the Student Government Association, Titan Productions, political and spiritual groups and other clubs related to student interests.
The Student Government Association (SGA) consists of 12 senators, a president, a vice president, a secretary and a treasurer. SGA allocates student activity funds and serves as a student voice for the administration. The Student Government Judicial Council interprets and provides guidance on the SGA Constitution and Policies, consisting of a chief justice and four associate justices.
Titan Productions is a student organization funded through the Student Activity Fee (SAF) whose purpose is to plan and present non-academic entertainment and programs primarily for the student body of IU South Bend. The organization hosts movie nights and special entertainment on campus.
IU South Bend has a weekly student publication called The Preface. The university also publishes the annual Undergraduate Research Journal, New Views on Gender, and an award-winning literary magazine, Analecta.
The Office of Student Services provides on-campus career placement center, child development center, and learning and writing centers, which offer free, on-site tutoring.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“I heard a Californian student in Heidelberg say, in one of his calmest moods, that he would rather decline two drinks than one German adjective.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Television ... helps blur the distinction between framed and unframed reality. Whereas going to the movies necessarily entails leaving one’s ordinary surroundings, soap operas are in fact spatially inseparable from the rest of one’s life. In homes where television is on most of the time, they are also temporally integrated into one’s “real” life and, unlike the experience of going out in the evening to see a show, may not even interrupt its regular flow.”
—Eviatar Zerubavel, U.S. sociologist, educator. The Fine Line: Making Distinctions in Everyday Life, ch. 5, University of Chicago Press (1991)
