Brian Carlson from Batavia, Ill., is helping to govern about 12,000 students who attend the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

Carlson, a freshman accounting major, was appointed to the 2014-2015 Whitewater Student Government (WSG) Executive Board as the academic affairs director.

"WSG positions foster skills in problem solving, critical thinking and civic engagement," said Jan Bilgen, adviser. "WSG members have a passion for creating and protecting a campus learning environment that fosters the success of their fellow students."

WSG assesses and serves the needs of UW-Whitewater students by providing an open forum atmosphere as well as being a bridge between students and campus administration.

"Student involvement within the various roles of WSG is a tangible demonstration of their dedication to campus," Bilgen said. "WSG membership provides a path for many to learn about complex systems and issues, along with supporting the vision of accessible education in the state."
