Student Government Association
Oxford College students elect the officers of our Student Government Association (SGA). SGA represents the interests of the student body to college administration, faculty, and staff, and it's a resource for you and all students during your time at Oxford.
Oxford College SGA is a divisional council of Emory University SGA, the university’s central student governing body.
SGA officers are integral to student life and work hard to represent the student body, with duties including approving budgets for student events, addressing student concerns, spearheading campus-wide initiatives, and chartering innovative student organizations.
SGA is organized into three branches–Executive, Legislative, and Judicial–which encompass a wide range of committees working in a variety of spheres, including health and wellness, student life, transportation, arts and academics, and DEI.
The President, Executive Vice President, and senators in the Legislative Branch hold voting power in the SGA senate.
