Student Government Association SGA is dedicated to improving the students’ academic, social, and cultural environments. Each student contributes indirectly to these aims by payment of the student services fee (during registration), a percentage of which goes to SGA. Students participate directly by taking advantage of the services offered and by getting involved in SGA itself. Dissemination of information about activities is through the Senators and through announcements posted on bulletin boards throughout the campus. The Student Senate consists of representatives from all four schools. This body controls all funds and determines the policies of SGA. It is important that responsible individuals are elected to this body as they represent the students and are instrumental in making decisions that will affect the student body. SGA meets every first and third Wednesday each month at noon in the Senate Room. To find out more about SGA please go to their website: https://www.utmb.edu/studentlife/get-involved/sga/about-sga
