The Holy Cross College Student Government Association (SGA) is a student-run organization that represents and acts in the interests of the students in their academic and student life endeavors, as well as providing opportunities to further personal formation in line with the vision of the Congregation of the Holy Cross.  To meet these ends, SGA Senate enacts legislation that is conducive to improving student experience on campus while furthering the mission and vision of the College, and the Programing Board creates student programming that builds community while creating a vibrant sense of belonging for all students.  Finally, the Executive Board oversees the day-to-day functioning of the Senate and Programming Board, as well as acting as the chief spokespersons of the student body to the College administration and faculty.

Between the three branches of government, SGA provides students the opportunity to develop leadership skills, engage in service, and make a difference to student experience on campus.  We encourage you to get involved and share your unique gifts and talents!

Programming Board

The SGA Programming Board has five distinct committees who work together to further the mission of Holy Cross College while promoting a holistic student experience.  Members of the Programming Board are appointed by the Director of Student Activities through an application and interview process which includes the SGA President and Vice-President.  The committees include:

• The Campus Engagement Committee creates events that are fun and engaging while meeting the diverse interests and needs of the student body, paying particular attention to the range of cultural backgrounds from which our students come. This committee is responsible for overseeing the implementation of all Ave Tunes and Spes Univents programming.
• The Communications Committee is critical to the success of SGA by being the main channel for creating awareness and promotion of events for SGA and Student Life. This committee creates the weekly Stall Street Journal/Driscoll Dispatch and event flyers, as well as maintaining the SGA Instagram account including the content for HCCTV.
• The Signature Events Committee connects students to the vibrant community life of the college by overseeing the implementation of signature events that are a part of the Holy Cross College tradition. These events include Fall Fest, Friendsgiving, Saints Soiree, and Games on the Green, as well as supporting the Harvest Moon and Spring Jubilee music festivals.
• The Social Advocacy Committee creates and organizes opportunities for the college community to serve those in need in our local community. This committee is responsible for planning and organizing two large scale outreach programs that are part of the College’s tradition: the St. Vincent de Paul Thanksgiving Food Baskets and Spring into Service, as well as smaller programs which support local service agencies. Additionally, the Social Advocacy Committee develops tabling events that focus on promoting awareness and education on issues which support the key principles and values of the Catholic Church’s social justice tradition.
• The Wellness Committee supports student well-being by creating and implementing events centered around emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and relational health. Collectively, these events aim at helping students to develop balanced, healthier lifestyles so they can thrive during their college careers.
