STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION

The Texas A&M University Student Government Association is made up of 3 branches, 4 commissions, and 15 committees, all working together to implement changes, provide students with a voice, and develop future leaders.

The Executive Branch is headed by the Student Body President who serves as a representative and advocate for the student body. With the assistance of the Executive Council, the Student Body President works to implement Student Senate legislation and coordinate the activities of Student Government.

As an extension of the Executive Branch, there are four commissions and fifteen committees. The commissions work at the discretion of the Student Body President’s agenda on issues related to organizational development, diversity, election, and higher education. The committees work to provide service to the community, host distinguished leadership conferences, uphold A&M traditions, and improve the quality of student life. Notable committees include the Aggie Recruitment Committee, Traditions Council, The Big Event, CARPOOL, Replant, Parents’ Weekend Committee, Aggie Muster Committee, and COSGA.

The Texas A&M University Student Government Association Development Commission serves the executive branch by providing fundraising support.

SGA’s beginnings arose from the creation of the Student Senate in 1947. Using student and faculty opinion, senators vote for bills and resolutions on issues related to academics, tuition, and fees shared governance, dining services, transportation, and parking, as well as student matters associated with the Bryan/College Station communities. Texas A&M’s Student Senate convenes every other Wednesday during the academic year. Meetings are open to the public and can also be viewed online at senate.tamu.edu.

The Student Government Association (SGA) operates under one constitution and each branch operates under its respective by-laws.
