Student Government
The Student Government maintains primary responsibility for all student interests and involvement at Pratt. The Government has an Executive Committee and any undergraduate or graduate student can and is encouraged to become involved. The main function of the Government is to represent the student viewpoint. Various members of SGA also serve on the Board of Trustee committees. There is a Sustainability Officer as part of SGA.
Staff Committee Opportunities
There are a number of committees in which Pratt Staff are appointed and/or elected. Some examples are various Board of Trustee committees, Pratt’s Sustainability Committee and the Master Planning resource groups.
Faculty Governance
The Academic Senate is Pratt’s faculty/administration governance body, which represents faculty, chairs, and staff who teach at the Institute. The Senate acts as an advisory body to the Board of Trustees and the administration, making direct recommendations to the President and Provost without review by any intermediary.
Additionally, faculty are elected and/or appointed to serve on a number of other committees across the institute.
