SGA Report
Vice President Abigail Browning, Legislative Affairs office Logan Pierce, and At-Large Senator Shelby Davis represented WVU’s SGA at Big 12 on the Hill in Washington D.C.. They discussed ensuring college affordability and making pathways to the workforce more accessible/making sure students have adequate job opportunities after they graduate. On their state lobby day, they advocated for expanding mental health resources on campus, college affordability again, and ways in which the federal government can combat student food insecurity across WV and the nation!
SGA is conducting a Indoor Campus Beautification survey to see where students would like to see more art on campus. take the survey here!
We worked with the WVU Roots Board and the Center for Community Engagement to promote and collect resources for flood relief in Southern WV.
We hosted the inaugural intern retreat where our current interns were able to work with each other and current SGA senators to brainstorm initiatives and plan for the future!
One of the initiatives formed from the retreat: a survey to learn more about the communication between colleges and students. Take the survey here!
The SGA Grant Application is officially closed! Student Organizations will be able to apply for grants starting next school year.
