Student Government Association

The Student Government Association (SGA) is the elected student voice of Johnson State College. Its purpose is to foster and promote student involvement in college activities and events. The SGA facilitates cooperation between the student body and the administration, faculty and local community.

The SGA is governed by a president and a vice president who are elected annually by the Johnson State College student body. In addition, the SGA has a Student Senate, which is a forum for student concerns and ideas regarding campus policies, procedures and rules.

The SGA Office

Each full-time student is required to pay an annual activity fee. The SGA uses these funds to help finance student clubs, media and organizations, as well as weekly entertainment and special events. Weekly entertainment, live bands, DJs, comedy nights, movies and guest speakers are regularly scheduled by the SGA. Major annual events include Winter Carnival, Spring Fling, two semi-formals, Casino Night, Fall Fest, Drag Ball, Costume Ball, The Ally Dinner and many more.

The Student Government Association Office is located in the Dewey Campus Center and may be reached by calling (802) 635-1232.
