Student Government

The Student Government Association is the voice of the student body. Its purpose is improving the quality of life for all students and it is the nucleus of student clubs, organizations and committees. All students are members of the Student Government Association (SGA) and are encouraged to be active in its governing boards. Student involvement is critical to SGA's success in understanding and meeting student needs.

The SGA currently sponsors and funds more than 20 different clubs and organizations, and we encourage students to propose new programs. Feel free to contact an SGA Executive Board member for more information on forming a new club or organization!

The SGA, working in conjunction with Student Life, designs and implements programs, activities and events that help to meet the social, intellectual and spiritual needs of the student community. The SGA Executive Board oversees these initiatives.
