Student Government Association
The Student Government Association (SGA) serves as the
collective voice of the student body, representing student interests to MUSC
administration and the community. SGA leaders plan campus-wide events, allocate
funding to student groups, and work on initiatives that enhance the student
experience. SGA participation also means building connections across all six
colleges as representatives from each college collaborate on university-wide
improvements.
Meet your SGA representatives and see how you can participate.
