Elections and Joining SGA

The best way to join the SGA is through the elections. Most positions are filled through the spring elections for the next academic year. However, any vacancies created by the spring elections and all first-year positions are filled in the fall election, which is held on the second week of the fall semester.

Any individual attempting to solely join a committee, subcommittee, or SEC subcommittee should email the chair of that committee.

All questions should be sent to committee chairs or sga@8n99.com
