About Us

The Christopher Newport University Student Assembly promotes the views, furthers the welfare, and executes the will of the Student Body. To this end, the CNU Student Assembly shall enact legislation and resolutions to accomplish these objectives, supervise and coordinate the execution and allocations of resources for activities of the Student Body, effect punitive measures with respect to its rules, and act as the supreme representative body for students to present their views.

​

The Student Assembly's objective is to advance the will of the Student Body by cooperatively working with the university administration, and acting within all other parts of Christopher Newport University and its Strategic Plans.

​

We work with the faculty and administration in the following key areas:

​

• Shaping the day-to-day student experience

• Representing student needs

• Encouraging student activism on and off campus

• Developing and promoting student leadership

 

We have worked with the administration to give student voice to student fees allocation, and now allocates small grants, conference funds and other budgetary needs.
