Georgetown University Student Association

The Georgetown University Student Association (GUSA), often referred to as the Student Association, is the student government of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. modeled after the United States federal government, it consists of three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. The current President of the Student Body is Michael Meaney (SFS'12), and the current Vice President of the Student Body is Greg Laverriere (COL'12).
