Who We Are and What We Do

Hey there!

We’re Northeastern’s Student Government Association (or SGA for short), the representative body serving to help more than 20,000 undergraduate students and to change our campus for the better. We take on different projects and initiative, write legislation, and advocate to members of University administration to improve student life, classroom programs, and the overall Northeastern experience.

To achieve this, SGA is organized in a capacity similar to the United States Congress—with an Undergraduate Student Senate and 6 core Divisions overseeing various committees and boards. Our Senate, generally consisting of over 100 students of different ages, programs of study, and advocacy interests, meets weekly to discuss various issues and to vote on formal legislation that we present to Northeastern Administration. Outside of Senate, we also have several Committees and Boards, each of which specialize in a specific aspect of advocacy on campus. Feel free to click below to learn more about Senate, our committees and boards, and some of the work that we do around campus!
