Student Government Association

For the Students, by the Students

The Student Government Association (SGA) endeavors to raise student awareness, promote student involvement, and represent the student voice. This organization is for and by the students of the University of Hartford.

The Student Government Association represents students’ views in the development of programs, services, and policy decisions. It is the governing body that provides funding to all recognized clubs and organizations and is charged with protecting the rights of the student body as outlined in the Source. 

How Representation Works

The SGA is made up of nine elected executive board members, two Board of Regents representatives, and more than 30 senators. An SGA senator is a student representative whose primary role is to represent the student body by drafting and voting on legislation, addressing student concerns, and serving on committees focused on campus-wide initiatives and policies.

Senators serve as a liaison between students and the University’s administration, faculty, and staff, and are often the first point of contact for information related to their specific elected senate position.
