STUDENT LIFE 39
example, there is SGA representation on the Board of Trustees and University committees, such as Academic Affairs, Liberal Studies, and Budget Advisory Committee. The SGA encourages students to voice their concerns about University policies, facilities and events by getting involved. There are several SGA committees in which students can participate such as GUTS (Gannon University Team Spirit) and LDP (Leadership Development Program.) Students may also give input by attending the Students' Voice section of any SGA General Assembly meeting and visiting the SGA office located in Keim Commons. In addition to being the main voice for the students, the SGA allocates funding of the student activities fee to recognized clubs and organizations and co-sponsors a Merit Scholarship for involved students.
