Latter-Day Saint Student Association

LDS Student Association (also known as the Latter-day Saint Student Association or the LDSSA) is an organization affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which offers Latter-day Saint university and college students and others social, religious, and recreational activities. The LDSSA was established in 1960, and today a chapter of the LDSSA exists in every location that an Institute of Religion of the Church Educational System has been established. Every Latter-day Saint student is automatically a member of the local LDSSA. Interested non-members of the church may join by enrolling at the Institute of Religion building. Each local chapter is administered by a stake president, who delegates most of the day-to-day responsibilities of the LDSSA to a president and council chosen from among the student members of the LDSSA.
