Student Government Association:

The Student Government Association of Charleston Southern University is an organization formed to protect the rights of students and ensure a continuous exchange of ideas and opinions between the students and administration. SGA strives to promote a widespread interest in student affairs, to further the activities of student life, and to develop a greater spirit of progressive citizenship. SGA seeks to promote the general welfare and to protect the enumerated rights of students.

The SGA is made up of three branches:

1. Executive Branch: Includes three officers--President, Vice-President, and Secretary/Treasurer

2. Legislative Branch: A Senate comprised of twenty-eight student Senators. Seven representatives are elected from each class. Each Senator is assigned to a committee. Current standing committees are Judicial, Food Services, Academic, Student Affairs, Buildings and Grounds and Commuter Affairs. Each committee is headed by a chairperson who also serves on the President's Cabinet. The term of office is one year for all senators. Senate Meetings are held Mondays at 4 p.m. in the Whitfield Stadium Conference Room. Senate meetings are open to all students unless otherwise specified.

3. Judicial Branch: Made of the House Council and Committee of Discipline.

 

How Do I Join?

Students who maintain a GPA of 2.0 are eligible to run and serve on Senate. Class representation is determined by credit hours earned. Freshmen are encouraged to run for Senate. There will be positions open for upper classmen starting in the spring semester. If you are interested in representing your class on Senate, please get in touch with SGA through the contact list provided.
