The Rutgers School of Public Health Student Government Association (SGA) is an organization formed, elected, and governed by the students. It has two chapters located in Newark and New Brunswick. The mission of SGA includes:
- advancing the general welfare of students at the school;
- promoting a cohesive community among students at the school; and
- serving as a conduit for student perspectives and concerns to the administration of the Rutgers School of Public Health.
SGA works cooperatively with students, faculty, staff, and administration. Additionally, each chapter hosts a variety of events providing students with opportunities to socialize and network amongst themselves as well as with alumni. SGA is open to all School of Public Health students and all are encouraged to participate in the events
and meetings, usually held on a monthly basis. Student Government officers are elected every May for the following school year.
For the time and commitment to being an Student Government Association (SGA) officer, students are rewarded with three credits of tuition remission. Student interested in SGA and/or SGA-sponsored activities
may contact the current SGA chapter officers (http://sph.rutgers.edu/student_life/sga.html), or associate dean of student affairs.
Students also have opportunities to participate in school decision-making processes through membership on various school committees. Contact your local chapter of the Student Government Association for details.
