Student Government Association

The Student Government Association (SGA) is the representative voice of the student body. Composed of an elected senate of freshman, sophomore, junior and senior senators, it deals with campus-wide issues and governance to promote student welfare. SGA is the organization that charters student clubs and organizations. Any group who wishes to start a new club must go through the SGA in order to gain approval. SGA also acts as an advisory body to all chartered organizations on matters such as rules and policies and fund disbursement. They act as a coordinator of club and organization activities, programs, and events. In addition, SGA sponsors activities, programs, and student forums which allow for the fullest expression of student opinion.

Functions of the SGA:

• Representative voice of the student body

• Assists other campus student organizations

• Promotes student welfare
