Student Government Association (SGA) records

 Collection 0229-UA

The Student Government Association (SGA) at the University of Maryland is the governance body for all undergraduate students. SGA representatives work with university administrators, other student bodies, and the local College Park government to implement legislation in response to student needs and concerns. The SGA records consist of meeting and committee minutes, the organization's constitution, legislators' binders, voting records, resolutions, memos and correspondence, newspaper articles, and budget reports. Some of the camus issues discussed in the records include student rights, health care, safety, diversity, multi-ethnic education, community service, and Greek life.

Preliminary inventories are available and can be found in the "Additional Description" section of this finding aid.
