student association

Learner advocacy group

A student association is an organization formed by and for students at a school, college, or university.

These groups represent student interests, organize activities, and provide services.

Some are official governing bodies that allocate funds and advocate to administration; others form around shared interests: the pre-law student association, the Korean student association.

Also called student government, student union, or student organization depending on structure and region.
