What is SGA?
SGA refers to the Student Government Association at the University of Southern Mississippi. It is a student-led organization organized into three branches to effectively carry out its essential functions. Acting as the main link between students and university administration, the SGA is dedicated to fostering student leadership, supporting academic and personal success, and guiding students towards golden futures after life at Southern Miss. SGA plays a crucial role in advocating for student needs, influencing policies, and shaping the student experience on campus.
“There is power in listening to people and giving them a voice, that’s what SGA is all about. ”
“Everyone in SGA has always encouraged me to be the best version of myself.”
“SGA provides students with opportunities to advocate for their peers in the spaces where decisions are being made.”
