Student Association
Students are represented by the James Cook University Student Association which used to include sub organisations of Cairns Campus Student Association and the James Cook University Postgraduate Student Association, a member of the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations. However, the Student Association Council has since merged into one representative body with seven elected members, with the positions of Townsville and Cairns Campus Officer, and Postgraduate Officer replacing the former campus and Postgraduate bodies.
Among the services provided by the Student Association are academic support, general administrative help, student welfare and non-academic activities. The Student Association publishes the student newspaper, The Bullsheet, fortnightly while the university is in session.
The current president of the Student Association is Justin Ganzer.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or association:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
