STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION (SGA)

All matriculated undergraduate students at Mount St. Joseph University are members of the Student Government Association. The Student Experiences and Family Engagement Manager and the Director of Residence Life and Student Leadership are co-advisors to the Student Government Association. There are many opportunities for students to participate in the Student Government Association through sponsored activities, initiatives and projects. Students can be involved in campus governance that affects decisions about student life by attending General Assembly Meetings, serving on a committee, or being elected into a position as a voting SGA member.

 The Student Government Association represents and serves the interests of the student body at Mount St. Joseph University. SGA strives to help students understand their rights, privileges and responsibilities as students at Mount St. Joseph University. SGA works in accordance with the Mission of the University in all endeavors. The Student Government Association: (a) grounds itself in the traditions of the Catholic community and the spiritual values and vision of the Sisters of Charity; (b) strives to maintain effective communication between the students, faculty, staff and administration; (c) works to develop campus policies that directly affect student life in conjunction with faculty, staff, and administration; (d) promotes student awareness of issues that affect the University community; (e) supports student organizations; (f) allocates and monitors student organization funding. All matriculated (enrolled) undergraduate students of this University shall be ipso facto members of the Student Government Association and shall vest their power in the class representatives they appoint. The full Student Government Association Constitution can be found on Mount Connect under My Resources – Mission and Belonging Tab.

SGA meetings are open to all students. Various types of SGA meetings are held at various times throughout the month. Check the SGA Instagram (@MSJ_SGA) for their meeting schedule
