Welcome to the University of North Alabama Student Government Association!
The Student Government Association is an organization for the students, by the students. It is an organization that gives to its members by enabling them to serve others – which is why it has so positively impacted my life. Our motto after all is leadership, advocacy, and service. SGA operates through four branches: Executive, Legislative, Judicial, and Freshman Forum. The Executive Branch is comprised of four elected officers and appointed Executive Council members and is responsible for leading the organization. The Legislative Branch is made up of elected senators who represent the Student Body and hold the power to vote. The Judicial Branch is comprised of the Student Court, which interprets the SGA Code of Laws and the SGA Constitution. Lastly, Freshman Forum provides education, service, and leadership opportunities for a group of thirty-five to forty freshmen every year.
These four branches work together to do three important things for students. Firstly, SGA is the students' representation to the administration. This means that every member of SGA is a student advocate and strives to ensure student welfare across campus. Next, the organization is responsible for the Student Allocation Funds and distributes over $100,000 to RSOs each year. Lastly, SGA facilitates Homecoming Court elections, SGA elections, and referendums.
If you are interested in getting involved with SGA, I highly encourage you to attend Senate meetings or join a committee as a non-voting member. Senate meetings are held every Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in the SGA Chambers on the first floor of the Guillot University Center in 163B. On the agenda at every meeting, there is a section titled “Student Forum”. During the Student Forum, students can communicate any ideas, questions, or concerns to the Senate. However, if our meeting times conflict with your schedule, please reach out to us by emailing sgafeedback@uupt.net with any thoughts or suggestions that you may have.
If you have any questions or concerns during your time at the University of North Alabama, please contact me at kmardis3@uupt.net or sgapresident@uupt.net.
Best of luck to you this year! Roar Lions!!
