Student Governance

Students are involved in College decision making through their participation on standing committees of the College and ad hoc committees appointed by the College senior leadership team. Their role is to share and discuss views held by students pertaining to any particular topic.

The jurisdiction of the SGA is to represent the student body as outlined in the SGA Constitution. Although the SGA does not participate in the governance of the College, the SGA president does serve as a nonvoting member of the College Board of Trustees.

Social Functions

1. Social functions will be planned by the SGA and its advisors.

3. The vice president for student services or the vice president’s representative shall be notified at least four weeks in advance of a planned social function in order to have the date cleared with the school administration and school calendar, and names of chaperones shall be given at least five days prior to the function.

4. All clubs and recreational activities are to be organized under the sponsorship of the SGA and Student Services offices. All plans are tentative and must receive final approval from the vice president for student services.
