SUNY Broome Student Government Association

SUNY Broome Student Government Association (formerly SUNY Broome’s Student Assembly) is the Shared Governance body that discusses issues pertaining to students on campus. Members of the group discuss issues concerning campus life, review student-related campus policies, and sit alongside faculty and staff on college committees charged with making recommendations to College administration.

Representatives of Student Government Association (SGA) sit on the two other Shared Governance Bodies: College Senate and Faculty Senate. In addition, one SGA member serves as the Student Trustee on the SUNY Broome Board of Trustees and votes on all items brought forth to that group. Senators provide input on club activities, social events, and programming.
