Student Government Association

The Student Government Association (SGA) consists of students chosen in campus-wide elections held each fall.

SGA is responsible for appropriating Student Organization Grant funds to student organizations. In addition, SGA appoints student representatives to serve on faculty and executive committees. These committees deal with various aspects of campus life including student retention, student activities, financial aid, academic affairs, and athletics.

SGA sponsors and/or co-sponsors campus-wide programs and activities including, but not limited to diversity initiatives, QuadFest each spring, blood drives, and the annual Homecoming Dance.

The SGA Office is located in room G-6 in the lower level of the Student Union.

How can I contact SGA?

Either in person, in room G-6 of the Student Union, or by emailing the advisor at kara.hotchkiss@mail.wvu.edu

When & Where are SGA Meetings?

All students are invited to attend open SGA meetings. Please refer to the campus event calendar to see the meeting schedule.
