Student Governing Board
The Student Governing Board (SGB) is the oldest of Columbia's governing boards and oversees political, religious, activist and humanitarian undergraduate student groups at Columbia. The board members are elected by representatives of each group at a general body meeting in the spring semester. SGB was created in the wake of the 1968 protests as a place for dialogue amongst students about the administration. With the revival of CCSC and ESC in the 1980s, SGB then took over as an overseer of the religious activities on campus, as chartered by the Board of Trustees.
SGB reported to the Office of the University Chaplain in Earl Hall prior to 2007, when they were reassigned to Student Development and Activities (which already oversees ABC and Inter-Greek Council).[1][2] The Office of Civic Action and Engagement was formed to oversee them and the IGB.
