Student Government Association News Sept. 2016
The Student Government Association (SGA) of Piedmont Virginia Community College represents the rights, interests, and concerns of the student body to the college officials of PVCC while promoting an effective communication network between students and college officials. It is the largest and most influential student organization in the school.
The departments in the SGA are:
Events Department: This department organizes and runs SGA-hosted social events across the campus and the community. Casino Night and the Talent Show, among many other events, are run by the committee.
Public Relations Department: This department develops and maintains SGA media, outreach, administration-specific polling, and appreciation processes.
Student Voice Department: This department maintains the Student Voice initiative, edits proposals, prepares project proposals for submission to the college administration, and conducts any necessary polling to determine student opinion of or interest in proposed or potential plans.
Additionally, three SGA senators represent the student’s opinions and perspectives on the College Senate to bring improvements to the PVCC campus. Further, student representatives (elected from the department bodies) serve on many college committees. These representatives communicate the interests of the SGA, and thus the student body, by their respective committees.
