What is SGA?

The Northeastern University Student Government Association (or SGA for short) is the representative body serving over 15,000 undergraduate students and to change our Boston campus for the better. We take on different projects and initiatives, write legislation, and advocate to members of the University administration to improve student life, classroom programs, and the overall Northeastern Boston campus undergraduate experience.

What does Sga Do?

The Northeastern University Student Government Association (SGA) represents all Boston Campus undergraduate students, working to make Northeastern a better place for everyone. We take on projects, write legislation, and advocate to university administrators to improve student life, academics, and the overall Northeastern experience.

Our work falls into several categories:

• Student Advocacy: Collaborating with administrators to improve programs, policies, and practices that benefit students in dining, housing, academics, global experience, wellness, and school spirit.

• Events: Planning and hosting educational forums and school spirit events such as hockey tailgates, Beanpot watch parties, Northeastern’s Got Talent, and more through our External Affairs Division.

• Student Organization Management and Funding: Overseeing governance, approvals, compliance, and operations for all SGA-recognized student organizations on the Boston Campus and distributing the Student Activities Fee through the Student Involvement Division and Finance Board.

• SGA Operations: Ensuring smooth SGA operations, including website management, student body elections, judicial hearings, communications, and more through the Office of the President, Operational Appeals Board, Elections Board, and other divisions.

No matter what you’re interested, there’s a place for you in SGA.
