To better represent the interest of students, serve as a voice of their collective well-being, and promote unity through interests, both common and uncommon.
The Student Government Association (SGA) at LSC-University Park serves as a voice and means for the student body to influence positive change throughout the campus. SGA representatives, we strive to provide and effective and efficient link between the concerns of students and the college administration. Our ultimate aim is to work towards fostering an enviroment of equality, cooperation, and prolific productivity on a campus-wide scale.
The members of the SGA Executive Council have outlined several goals for the upcoming academic year and are fully committed towards tackling and accomplishing each of these by the end of their tenure:
Establishing a bicameral Board of Senators divided into Representatives and Committee Members. The entire board will be comprised of students nominated from a variety of clubs and organizations on campus. The Senatorial Board’s primary purpose is to provide greater representation to the LSC-University Park student body by expanding the role played by SGA in campus life. For more details regarding the individual responsibilities of the two types of Senators refer to Articles VI and VII of the SGA Constitution above and/or view the Senator tab on the left. All nominations and applications will be reviewed and vetted by the SGA Executive Council before appointments are finalized.
Organizing a semester-long Service Learning Project in both the fall and spring semesters, open to the entire campus for involvement. These projects will be focused on improving the local community—either through on or off-campus involvement—and will have academic connections and real-world applications as well. More information will be released as details are finalized and events draw closer. Updates will be provided through official SGA social media and email. All are welcome and strongly encouraged to participate!
Through encouraging all students to play a more active role in campus initiatives and events. We aim to expand and publicize the role played by SGA in everyday college life in an attempt to draw more students to engage in SGA policy-making discussions and decisions regarding the campus. Greater involvement and awareness is possible through working with other campus organizations as well. All students are strongly encouraged to attend SGA General Assemblies to voice their concerns and provide suggestions for improving campus life at University Park. Only if we hear your concerns, can we work towards implementing effective and useful change in a manner that serves the interest of students.
There are innumerable benefits to maintaining an active involvement in your college Student Government Association’s events, endeavors, and initiatives. Chief among these are as follows:
