The Student Government Association of 51³Ô¹Ï is a non-partisan organization rooted in student advocacy and securing and allocating funding to fellow student organizations on campus. We serve as the voice of the student body to the administration, faculty, staff, and legislators. Along with organizational goals and initiatives, we have five standing committees that work on various SGA and student-centered issues: Commuter Committee, Finance Committee, Social Justice and Inclusion Committee, Public Relations Committee, and Rules Committee. Any SSU student is able to be a part of SGA standing committees.
