What is SGA?

The students of Kansas State University, united in the belief that the goals of a democratic community can be furthered only by the citizenship habits, attitudes, skills, and knowledge acquired through experience and that the degree of student development is likely to parallel closely the extent of responsibility which students carry for their own society, do adopt this Constitution for the Kansas State University Student Governing Association (KSU SGA).

Officials of the Student Governing Association are responsible for voicing the concerns of the student body and serving as an underlying force of cooperation between the faculty, the students, and the colleges of Kansas State University.

There are three SGA branches. The Executive Branch consists of the Student Body President, Student Body Vice President, and the Cabinet. The Legislative Branch consists of Student Senate and seven standing committees: Academic Affairs and University Relations, Allocations, Communications, Governmental Relations, Privilege Fee, Senate Operations, and Student Affairs and Social Services. The Legislative Branch establishes policies as well as sets and allocates more than $8 million in privilege fees. Student Senate also makes recommendations to the University administration, faculty, and student body. The Judicial Branch hears non-academic misconduct complaints against other students.

To get involved in Student Government any student can run for a position in the spring, apply for a position as an at-large member of a committee, apply to be on the president's cabinet, or apply for an internship on Student Senate. As a fee-paying student at K-State, you are automatically a member of SGA. This entitles you to select student representatives, vote on important issues, and even address Student Senate at their weekly meetings every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in the K-State Student Union Big 12 Room.

For more information regarding involvement in Student Government, e-mail the Office of Student Activities & Services at osas@k-state.edu. Student Senate convenes every Thursday at 7 p.m. The meetings are held in the Big 12 room, on the second floor of the K-State Student Union.
