SGA COMMITTEES

In response to the 2023 SGA Survey, we came up with a list of 6 focus areas to guide us for they year. From looking at statistically significant survey data, SGA is focusing on the following: (1) mental health, (2) dining services, (3) parking equity, (4) chapel concerns, (5) SGA student engagement, and (6) a new student space. These focus areas have guided our projects and surveys throughout the semesters. To proactively achieve our goals, 4 committees were formed.
