Student Government
The Student Government Association (SGA) exists to give students an opportunity to establish practices and policies relating to student welfare. SGA provides leadership guidance for the student body and assists the administration in many facets of student life. The governing body of the SGA is the Student Senate, composed of the six elected SGA officers, three representatives from each class (freshmen through senior), and a graduate representative. Student interests and concerns are served through the Student Government Association representatives on various faculty committees and the Board of Trustees.
Under the supervision of the University and the Student Government Association adviser(s) the Student Government Association facilitates allocating funds (received through student activity fees) among campus organizations. It also has the authority to propose rules affecting student life that are then submitted to the Division of Student Affairs, and, when required, the Board of Trustees for final approval. The Student Government Association Office is located in the Alumni Memorial Student Union. Contact information: 419-434-4849.
