Welcome to the Student Government Association at the University of Georgia!
The Student Government Association would like to extend a congratulations to all the incoming freshman and transfer students! We look forward to meeting all of you at orientation and throughout the year! If you are looking to get involved with the Student Government there are three ways to do so:

SGA holds all Committee and Senate meetings in the Student Learning Center at 7:00 pm on Tuesdays. We have seven committees that anyone can join, these include: Academic Affairs, Athletic Affairs, External Affairs, Multicultural Affairs, Public Relations, Rules Committee and Student Life. You can be a member of any committee you choose!
