External Affairs

About the Division

The External Affairs division serves as the vibrant bridge between our Association and the broader Northeastern University undergraduate population. Through our Communications and Events Committee, we aim to engage and unify the student body by harnessing the power of social media and organizing meaningful and educational events that resonate with our students. Additionally, our dedicated Boston Intercollegiate Government (BIG) representatives advocate for SGA within the larger tapestry of the Boston Intercollegiate Government, ensuring Northeastern’s voice is heard and our presence felt on a wider stage.
