All full-time matriculated day students are members of the Student Government Association by virtue of the student government fee, which is part of the semester tuition bill. The members are elected students who represent the interests and the needs of the student body. Elections are held each spring for the executive board and class representatives. Each fall, the entering class will elect representatives. The board meets on a regular basis, usually weekly.
All meetings are open to the student body.
Students are selected to fill leadership positions on a board and there are many volunteer committee opportunities. The Vice President of the Student Activities Board oversees the board and provides a communication link between the Student Activities Board and the Student Government Board. Each house within the Residence Life Program elects a representative to the committee. The chairperson of the RLAB is a voting member of S.G.B. and is elected in the spring S.G.B. elections by current resident students. The RLAB advises the residence life staff on policies and procedures governing the residence life program and assists with programs for the resident students.
