At Marist University, a student leader is more than just a title. Students from diverse backgrounds and interests come together to bring change and innovate to campus community.

The Marist University Student Government Association (SGA) is the group for advocating on behalf of the student body in decisions which transcend the jurisdiction of the students and have taken on extreme significance, or which involve serious issues with university faculty, staff, or administration.

SGA is also responsible for giving guidance to other student groups, clubs, and organizations. It further maintains the authority to charter campus clubs and organizations.

Lastly, SGA offers a conduit for information between the university and student groups.

SGA consists of three branches:

  • Executive
  • Legislative
  • Judicial
