The Student Government Association (SGA) of Gannon University is a student-run government
body that acts as a liaison between the students, faculty, and adminstration. The SGA also plays
a major role in funding and supporting university recognized student clubs and organizations.
The SGA also provides a forum in which students are able to voice their concerns and opinions
regarding existing university policies, procedures, and practices. In short, the SGA commits
itself to being the voice of the Gannon student body.
The SGA is comprised of an executive board that, as the executive authority of the Gannon
University Student Government Association, oversees all student interests. The board is
comprised of the President, Vice-President of Academic Affairs, Vice-President of Clubs &
Organizations, Vice-President of Public Relations, Parliamentarian, Treasurer, Secretary and a Webmaster. The
executive board also plans the agenda for all SGA meetings, has the right to veto any
legislation passed by the SGA and also carries out additional duties and responsibilities
as designated by the constitution and its bylaws.
The Student Government Association also appoints committees, that are both student
centered and university centered in nature. These committees, appointed specifically
by the Vice-President of Academic Affairs, are designed to assist the student while
enrolled at Gannon University. Each committee has its own purpose - which is developed
by the Student Government Representatives who sit on these committees - and a list of
goals that they are attempting to accomplish to meet their given purpose.
