Student Government Association (SGA)

The Student Government Association (SGA) promotes the general welfare of the College in a democratic fashion and facilitates communication among the student body, the faculty and the administration. Besides coordinating expenditures of the student activity budget, the Student Government Association provides a means through which students can promote interest in student activities. Some activities that the SGA sponsors include pig pickings, lectures, activities honoring historical persons, events such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, Black History month and a newspaper.

The SGA Executive Council is assisted by the Student Senate. The Senate consists of representatives who are appointed by the instructor for each curriculum program. The Senate advises the SGA Executive Council by providing input and assistance in implementing SGA activities.

Officers are elected in Spring semester of each year. The President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer make up the SGA Executive Council, which holds regularly scheduled meetings on campus. All students are invited to these meetings to discuss new ideas for activities.

The Student Government Association Constitution, Bylaws and Policies are printed in the Student Handbook, which is published by the SGA. Handbooks and information pertinent to the SGA and its Constitution are available in the Office of Student Development.
