The Student Government Body (SGA) is a nationwide organization. Their goal is to be the voice of their student body by creating legislation and events that serve the student’s needs.
At Tarleton State University, the SGA’s congress consists of a representative from each College and organization on campus.
Their most recent acts include new legislation that affects housing.
Stephanie Hart is one of the two Vice Presidents operating under the event department of the Student Government Association. Her responsibility is to oversee and plan all SGA events and activities.
Hart’s goal for the upcoming semester is to conduct a partnership with the Purple Pantry. She believes that a lot of students are not engaging with their organization which is hindering their development of serving student needs.
“We want to get more Congress chairs and spreading the word more about SGA,” Hart said.
Their organization's goal this semester is to get more students involved and market themselves more by hosting another, “Coffee with SGA.” This event allows students to participate in question and answer sessions with members of the council.
Amber Trammel is the delegate for the Corps of Cadets. Trammel mentions how being part of the Council has benefited her by being more involved on campus and bettering her organization.
“I feel like being part of SGA I get more awareness of what is happening on campus and how this affects us as students,” Trammel said.
Zinya Ward is a Senior at Tarleton State University. She said she has never seen SGA on campus and wishes they were interviewing more students on their needs.
“I feel like if they want to make change they need to come to the students,” Ward said.
