The SGA consists of a variety of positions from a member at large to committee chairs and is overseen by the Office of Student Activities.

SGA Committees
The SGA Committee Chairs are appointed by and are advisory to the President of Student Government. Each Spring the SGA President will conduct a competitive appointment process in order to select students who have the desire to serve on their committee of interest.
Committee appointments will become effective at the beginning of the summer semester and will expire at the end of the spring term. Each standing committee will have a written statement of its operating procedures and submit an annual report of their activities to the President of Student Government Association.
A complete list of the SGA Committees is listed below for your review. Please take a moment to determine the committees that most interest you. It would be our desire that all students with a committee interest apply and interview for a seat this coming semester.
