How many women are serving in college student governments?

The Washington Post recently asked ASGA about the percentage of women serving in student governments across the nation. So our team pulled data from our research since we founded ASGA in 2003.

Please note that our data gets deeper and more accurate and thorough each
year. We have hired full-time researchers each year to help us augment the
data. We now have five full-time researchers who spend 13,000 hours a year
gathering data on collegiate student governments.
