Hello everyone!

The Fredonia Student Government Association’s Fall Representative and Class President’s Elections are fast approaching, and I would love the opportunity to tell you about the avenues of getting involved in student leadership and advocacy within the Student Government Association.

If you are interested in becoming a representative or president for your class, I encourage you to declare your candidacy! You can declare your candidacy on the SGA website, or you can visit the Student Association office at S226 A&B of the Williams Center and sign the declaration book.  The last day to declare your candidacy for class representative and class president is September 15th by 5:00 p.m.  Elections will be held on September 22nd and September 23rd.  Following the election, we will have an orientation for new presidents and representatives. 

The SGA is the governing body of all student clubs and organizations on campus and is made up of elected representatives from each class. The representatives that make up the Student Association General Assembly have the responsibility of representing their fellow students on various matters such as: what type of clubs they want to see on campus, the nature of student advocacy efforts on campus and at the state level, and the type of initiatives they want to see come from the Student Association committees. Representatives vote on bills and legislation for these topics in a continued effort to make Fredonia and the outside community a greater place while ensuring that the student voice is heard.

Each class has multiple representatives and one class president. The class president leads the class and is the chief representative of their constituency. 

The Student Association also maintains various committees, each having a unique task. These committees are made up of class representatives and presidents, as well as many students that have a passion for a particular committee’s work. The committees we have are:

• Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility and Belonging
• Marketing Relations
• Community Relations
• Sustainability Relations
• Rules
• Budget & Appropriations
• Supreme Court
• Elections
• Various Ad-Hoc Committees

If you are interested in joining any of these committees, or if you would like to know more, please reach out to sapres@fredonia.edu. 

You do not have to be an elected representative to join a committee.

The Student Association is a large, extensive organization with many different avenues for student engagement and advocacy. We encourage you to pursue one or many of these avenues. There is a place for everyone in SGA, and we welcome you to explore the opportunities the Student Association can offer.
