The Student Government Association was created to establish a more effective, representative and cooperative student leadership body. It consists of approximately 50 student leaders in two divisions: the Executive Cabinet and the Assembly.
The Executive Cabinet is comprised of seventeen student leaders. The president, vice-president and four class presidents are elected by their respective student bodies. After a substantial application process, these six elected officials appoint a Chief of Staff and ten directors to oversee different student concerns.
The Assembly is compromised of exactly thirty-six student leaders. Eight assemblypersons are elected per social class year, with four additional assemblypersons nominated to represent transfer, commuter, resident student, and diversity interests. The Assembly is responsible for all legislative matters within the SGA. In addition, each assemblyperson is called to serve and support his or her respective class president.

The Class President independently organizes meetings with the eight (8) class-elected Assemblypersons where they plan social, spiritual, academic, community service or other events for the class. These meetings are a medium in which class related concerns can be addressed and then brought by the Class President to the Executive Cabinet. Class Assemblypersons: The Class Assemblypersons work directly with the Class President to plan and organize events and programming for their class.
