Associated Student Government Presents 'House of Hogs'

Associated Student Government collaborated with UA Productions this summer to present House of Hogs, a promotional video about ASG, for the SEC Exchange meeting of Southeastern Conference Student Governments.

"It was an excellent opportunity to work with UA Productions to create the House of Hogs video," said Tanner Bone, ASG president. "They took our simple idea and turned it into an incredible promotional video for ASG. We've been waiting a long time to release this House of Cards parody to the public. #ToTheFinish"

Associated Student Government is comprised of three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. ASG serves to represent the common interests and voice of all students. ASG provides an educational experience of shared governance in the University's decision and policy making process. Additionally, the organization provides educational, social, and political programming for the student body.
