What is the SG Database?
It’s the only searchable database of every Student Government in the nation. Built from decades of collected information from colleges and universities nationwide, it is continuously updated by student leaders and advisors and used for benchmarking, planning, research, and decision-making.
What Questions Can It Answer?
Search real Student Government data to answer questions such as:
- How much do student body presidents earn at similar institutions?
- How large is the senate at schools like ours?
- Do comparable schools use appointed or elected officers?
- What election turnout do similar campuses achieve?
- How many advisors do similar SGs employ?
- What committees are common at community colleges?
- How do other SGs structure funding boards?
How Schools Use the Database
Student Governments use the database to benchmark their structure, policies, programs, and operations against similar institutions.
- Before rewriting constitutions — Compare governance structures at peer institutions.
- Before increasing stipends — Review compensation at similar schools.
- Before launching a new program — Identify campuses already doing it successfully.
- Before changing election rules — Research how hundreds of other SGs conduct elections.
