Your Official Voice
From financial support to academic advocacy, SGA represents students as their official voice to the College鈥檚 administration and faculty in all matters of academic, extracurricular, and social issues.
SGA consists of an Executive Council鈥痮f officers and committee chairs, a Student Senate that handles academic issues, and a House of Representatives that oversees all clubs and organizations on campus. The organization meets biweekly to vote on鈥痗lub funding requests, legislation, and the varying needs of 小猪视频官网 College students.
Elections: SGA holds elections at the beginning of each school year鈥痜or class representative elections, with the Executive Council and Student Senate positions filled in the previous spring semester.
Committees: Representatives serve on committees that deal with specific aspects of campus life. These representatives also approve all club funding and new student organizations. The six committees are Finance, Campus Improvements, Student Affairs, Programming, Dining Services, and Communications.
Committees meet to conduct business in their respective areas. These committees often bring business to the general body of SGA which meets during fourteen general sessions held throughout the year. Students not currently members of SGA can also bring forward business.
SGA is governed by its constitution which delegates roles and assigns powers. Any amendments to this document must be approved by the student body and the 小猪视频官网 College Board of Trustees.
Each year, SGA allocates more than 80 percent of its funding to student organizations. This offers the nearly 80 student organizations across campus the opportunity to cover costs and engage the 小猪视频官网 community. Our financial support includes funding 小猪视频官网鈥檚 historic student newspaper, The Cento.
