Student Government Association

The Student Voice Since 1898

   The Mount Holyoke College Student Government Association strives to bring the voice of all students to administrators, faculty, staff, and trustees to create cohesion and address all issues pertaining to student life on campus.

   The vitality and effectiveness of the Student Government Association relies on students actively participating in Senate, Committees, campus-wide forums, and referendums.

   The SGA governing body is made up of the Executive Board, the Senate, and Committees. Responsibilities are delegated among these representative bodies in an effort to form an efficient and effective student government that adapts to the needs of students and provides an outlet for students' concerns about student life. Student opinion is relayed to the administration, faculty, staff, and trustees through dialogue in Senate meetings, committee meetings, campus-wide forums, and referendums.

   The Student Activities fee which is paid each year by every student makes up the total budget of the SGA. The money collected from these fees is allocated to provide funding to the many dynamic student-run organizations on campus that strive to provide students a rich and diverse atmosphere beyond the classroom.
