Student Government Association

The Student Government Association (SGA) is an established student organization that serves as the governing board of the undergraduate student body and strives to create and support activities that deepen a sense of community. All undergraduate students are considered members of SGA. The executive cabinet and leadership team are elected representatives by the undergraduate student body who represent students. Elections take place during fall and spring semesters. Students interested in getting involved in SGA can email sga@neumann.edu, speak with Student Engagement & Orientation staff, or stop by the SGA table at the Involvement Fair each semester. Neumann's Student Government Association is member of the American Student Government Association (ASGA).
