Student Government Association

File:Example.jpg|SGA Logo]] The Student Government Association (SGA) is Barnard's student council. Until 2013, it served a dual role as both the student government of Barnard College, as well as a governing board for student groups at Barnard. In spring 2013, SGA announced the creation of the Governing Board at Barnard to take on its rapidly increasing club administration responsibilities.

Our Mission

The Student Government Association of Barnard College aims to facilitate the expression of opinions on matters affecting the Barnard community through active communication between students, administration, and faculty. With various forums for collaboration, such as committees and weekly Representative Council meetings, SGA strives to promote open dialogue and action that will enhance student life at Barnard College.

All Barnard College students, by virtue of having paid student activities fees, are members of the SGA. Thus, SGA calls on all Barnard College students to take initiative in continuing the SGA’s tradition of equitable self-government and to hold both administrators and students accountable to the College’s larger mission, to foster women leaders and intellectuals.
