Committiees

The Committee System exists as a means to allow all students the opportunity to participate in specific areas of Student Government by providing a committee structure that covers a diverse gamut of student interests. Through the Committee System, more students' voices are heard, making programs better planned and SGA legislation truly representative of the Student Body.

Getting Involved

Each committee has a distinct and different purpose. Some deal strictly with academic issues, while others are oriented toward planning activities such as Spirit Week. There are also specific committees for the interests of certain groups such as Commuter and North Fulton students. Either way, there are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved, so if you find a committee you like, contact the chair and become a part of the SGA!

The following committees are standing committees provided for in the SGA Constitution. The chair of each committee coordinates its membership and is responsible for reporting committee progress to the SGA at regular intervals.
