Get Involved
While every student is considered a member of SGA, by becoming a senator, you receive full voting and speaking rights in Senate. Even if you are not interested in becoming a Senator, there are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved with the Student Government Association!
Stop by our next meeting! There is no deadline for becoming a senator, and you don't have to be a senator to come check us out.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to stop by the Student Government Association's office in 332 Curry Student Center and talk to any of the members of the Executive Board or call the office at 617.373.2651.
Become a Senator
Academic Senator

Academic senators represent their particular college by filling out the Senator Nomination Form with 50 signatures from students in their college.

Special Interest senators represent their student group. If interested in becoming a Special Interest senator, the president of the student group must email the Vice President for Administration and Public Relations as well as the President of the Student Government Association with the name of the interested student and a brief explaination of why they are would like a seat as a Special Interest senator.
Join a Committee
Most of SGA's work is done in committee meetings. Every senator must attend senate meetings and join at least one committee. Each committee focuses on a different aspect of the university that students would be most concerned about. For more information about current committees, click here.
