Student Government Association (SGA) consists of both part time and full time students in the undergraduate and graduate levels at Sam Houston State University (SHSU). Membership consists of up to 15 students from each academic college on campus. SGA consists of all types of students, including athletes, Greeks, veterans, honors students, and others. We are an organization of students by students and for students. We are SGA!
The purpose of SGA at SHSU is to serve as the official voice of the student body as its democratically elected representatives. We strive to promote the welfare of the student body, academic excellence, and civic engagement. We are an advocate for students, voicing their concerns and opinions to SHSU Administration, the Texas State University System Board of Regents, and elected officials.
Any student that is enrolled at SHSU and maintains at least a 2.25 GPA may run for office as a senator for their respective college. They may run in the general body election during the spring semester; or after stating their intent at a senate meeting, successful completion of council training, and by majority vote at a senate body meeting. Meetings are at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, in the Criminal Justice Courtroom, located in the CJ building. For more information on how to join, please email the Dean of Students' Office at sga@shsu.edu.
