The mission of the Student Government Association is to cultivate a unified student body by leading through service, engaging the community, and enhancing the Holy Cross experience.
About
The Holy Cross College Student Government Association (SGA) is a student-run organization that exists to represent and act in the interests of the students in their academic and community endeavors.
To achieve these goals, SGA’s power is balanced into three divisions: the Executive Board, Student Senate, and Programming Board. Between the three branches, SGA provides students the unique opportunity to develop leadership skills, engage in service, and make a difference on-campus.
There are many opportunities to get involved in Student Government Association. We encourage you to contribute ideas and share your unique perspective.
