Student Government Association

The Franklin College Student Government Association (SGA), elected by the student body at large, assumes the duty of representing students’ needs and interests in all facets of College life, from academics to student engagement.  The SGA is composed of an assembly of elected student representatives and a five-person executive board.  The SGA itself, under the oversight of the President, Vice-President of Development, Vice-President of Programming, Treasurer, and Secretary, is composed of the following five committees: Academics and Policy, Community Development and Initiatives, Clubs and Programming, Budget Inventory and Data, and Public Relations and History. The General Assembly holds open meetings weekly to manage assorted College social events, allocate student funds, and to discuss the refinement of College policies vis-à-vis students’ interests. 

The SGA is intended to be the most effective means of initiating discourse between the student body and administration. Student representatives also sit on various administrative committees and task forces, including, for example, the Faculty Assembly, Curriculum Committee, and Library committee. The Student Government Association is responsible for providing students an opportunity to develop and enhance leadership abilities while promoting institutional betterment and innovation.
