Student Government Association


Lead through service. Engage the community. Enhance the Holy Cross experience. Repeat

The º£½ÇÖ±²¥ Student Government Association (SGA) is a student-run organization that represents and acts in the interests of the students in their academic and student life endeavors, as well as providing opportunities to further personal formation in line with the vision of the Congregation of the Holy Cross.Ìý To meet these ends, SGA Senate enacts legislation that is conducive to improving student experience on campus while furthering the mission and vision of the College, and the Programing Board creates student programming that builds community while creating a vibrant sense of belonging for all students.Ìý Finally, the Executive Board oversees the day-to-day functioning of the Senate and Programming Board, as well as acting as the chief spokespersons of the student body to the College administration and faculty.

Between the three branches of government, SGA provides students the opportunity to develop leadership skills, engage in service, and make a difference to student experience on campus.Ìý We encourage you to get involved and share your unique gifts and talents!
