Student Leadership & Organizations
Leadership and Activities
Throughout the year, the Office of Student Life offers dozens of ways for students to get involved on campus. Join one of our many Student Registered Oraganizations if you'd like to help us plan, promote, and create events for your community.
Student Government Association
The Student Government Association (SGA) is the voice of the students. SGA works to bridge the gap between the student, the faculty and the administrators. SGA represents students in various ways: serving on campus wide committees, sponsoring events that allow students to know what administration offices do, speaking at the Board of Trustees meetings on behalf of students.
