Student Government Association

Empowering Student Voices, Enhancing Your UNC Experience.

Student Activities

SGA is here to represent you.

Our mission is to uplift student voices, advocate for your needs and work alongside campus leaders to improve every part of your UNC journey—from academics and wellness to involvement and belonging.

From campus concerns to big-picture ideas, SGA advocates for students in the decisions that shape your experience at UNC.

 

Who We Are

SGA is made up of:

  • 9 Executive Branch members
    25 Senators (5 from each class + 1 from each college)
  • Representatives from campus groups like:
    • Graduate Student Association
    • Faculty Senate
    • Professional Administrative Staff Council
    • Classified Staff Council

Why It Matters

Together, we work with university leadership to make sure students are at the table where decisions are made. Being part of SGA or even attending a meeting is a great way to:

Use your voice to influence change.

Stay informed about what’s happening on campus.

Build leadership experience that looks great on your resume.

Make real connections with peers, faculty and university leaders.
