Simpson College Student Government Association

What is the Student Government Association?

The Simpson College Student Government Association (SGA) strives to represent students by advocating for their interests, communicating with the administration and allocating resources. The SGA also works to ensure that all students’ voices are heard.

The SGA is made up of elected student representatives from each class level. Senators and presidents for the sophomore, junior and senior class are elected in the spring semester and take office the following fall. First-year senators and class president are elected in the fall shortly after classes begin. Class presidents and senators serve a one-year team that spans August through May. The group is led by the elected student body president and vice-president. The student body president and vice-president are elected in November, transition during December, and take office the following January. They serve a one-year term from January through December. SGA is supported by a student manager. This position is appointed by the president and serves a one-year team from January through December.

The role of SGA involves dealing with a broad range of issues relating to student life on the campus and overseeing the budgets of most recognized student organizations. They encourage feedback from students, including any recommendations for improving the life of students at Simpson.

Simpson values the viewpoint of, and input from, students. To encourage this dialogue and foster transparency with the student body, SGA regularly interacts with campus leadership and becomes actively involved in most issues on the campus.
