Current Initiatives

SGA members serve on a wide range of committees and task forces, while also having regularly scheduled check-ins with various administrators. Members of our Executive Cabinet also attend Board of Trustees meetings each semester. At every meeting we attend, we advocate for student concerns and help make the changes you want to see.

In order to better assess how students feel regarding various aspects of student life and academics, SGA is in the process of developing a survey to be shared to the entire student body. We will use the data collected to identify the areas where the university is strongest, and where there is the most room for growth.
