The SGA Senate meets throughout the school year to discuss issues relevant to students and vote on legislation to solve the issues presented. Any student, regardless of participation in SGA, is invited to come to these meetings and bring their concerns directly to the SGA. While SGA may not always be able to help immediately, they will remain dedicated to solving any problem that affects students.
