WHO IS SGA?

Students from other Gulf Coast clubs and organizations also serve as representatives and at-large members represent the general student body.

PURPOSE AND MISSION

The purpose and mission of the Student Government Association at Gulf Coast State College is to stimulate student involvement in all aspects of campus life. Using Student Activities Funding, the SGA fosters activities for and with all clubs and organizations and empowers students in all aspects of campus governance. They are the official voice through which the opinions and concerns of the student body may be expressed. SGA also serves as liaison between the student body and college administration to ensure all procedures and practices within the organization are inclusive and non-discriminatory.
