Student Government Association (SGA)
The Student Government Association is a group of elected student representatives who serve as a
liaison between the student body and the Spelman faculty, staff, and administration. The purpose of
SGA is
•
To provide an opportunity for members of the student body to develop and maintain
College programs that support their intellectual, physical, social, economic, and spiritual
welfare.
•
To assist in the coordination of activities and services for the benefit of the student body
and the entire College.
•
To promote better understanding and cooperation between students, faculty,
administration, and others.
•
To manage the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee (SAFAC) which is one of many
SGA committees. SAFAC is responsible for distributing funds to student clubs and
organizations and providing a limited number of scholarships to assist selected students
with books, meals, parking.
Please visit the Student Government Offices in the Lower Manley Student Center Room 106A.
Student Trustee
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance of the College, basic educational and fiscal
policy, granting of degrees, election of the president, and the promotion and tenure of faculty based
on the recommendation of the provost and president. The student trustee serves as a voting member
of the Board of Trustees, and is expected to act primarily with the best interest of the College at all
times. All trustees, including the student trustee, are stewards of the institution and are expected to
dedicate time and resources while displaying attributes of leadership, selflessness, integrity, maturity,
objectivity, accountability, openness, and honesty. The student trustee serves as a role model for
other students and is expected to maintain the highest standards of conduct and scholarship
.
