The
Rutgers School of Public Health Student
Government Association (SGA) is an organization formed, elected, and governed by the students. Advised by the Office of Student
Affairs, the SGA intends to represent the diversity of our student body and the
values established by the public health field. The mission of SGA is to advance the general welfare of
students at the Rutgers School of Public Health, promoting a cohesive community
among all students through hosting intentional activities to engage students
within their communities and serving as a conduit for student perspectives to
the administration of the Rutgers School of Public Health.
SGA
works cooperatively with
students, faculty, staff, and administration. SGA offices host a
variety of events providing students with opportunities to socialize, network amongst themselves, and within
the greater public health community, and to engage in meaningful experiences
that supplement their education. Through their involvement, students also
have opportunities to participate in school decision-making processes through increased
access to membership on various school, university, and community committees.
SGA
is open to all School of Public
Health students and all are
encouraged to participate in the events and
meetings. Positions on the executive
board are elected every May for
the following school year. Students interested in SGA and/or SGA-sponsored activities may contact the Director of Student Support
Services, Michael Vega, at
