Student Governing Association Intern Program meeting tonight

Submitted by Jackson Willis

Since 2018, the Kansas State University Student Governing Association Intern Program has operated in two distinct phases. The first phase is designed to educate the campus on SGA and its processes. This phase is open to all, the only requirement is to show up prepared to learn! Made up of five individual classes, there are three different sessions of Phase I that happen throughout the year to allow anyone to learn about SGA at any time, not just at the beginning of the semester. 

Phase II focuses on leadership development for the individual, organization, and campus at-large. To participate in the second phase, one must have attended three of the five Phase I meetings. Interns learn about current and future opportunities in SGA, hear from prominent K-Staters, and build community with each other.

A participant in the SGA intern program can expect to learn about the organization’s role on campus, three branches, processes, elections, and membership. The program is an amazing opportunity for any student — freshman or not — looking to get involved on-campus.

Intern eligibility: Any and every student on campus is invited to participate in the intern program. Undergraduate, graduate, non-traditional, and international students are all encouraged to attend. To begin the process of becoming an intern simply attend one of the intern program meetings. 

The next class will take place at 5:45 p.m. Sept. 19 in the Wildcat Chamber in the K-State Student Union. Students are encouraged to attend the classes at any time. You do not need to attend the first meeting to get involved.
