About Us
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
The Executive Branch
The Executive Branch consists of an elected Student Body President, Executive Vice President, and their appointed President's Cabinet, which is responsible for advising them on issues relevant to the operation of SGA. The Student Body President also serves as a representative to the Marist University Board of Trustees.
The Cabinet positions are:

The Legislative Branch
The Legislative Branch (the Senate) is responsible for hearing and voting on bills and resolutions that affect the student body. All of the Senate's decisions align with student body opinion.
