Student Government Association (SGA)

Welcome to the 2010-2011 Student Government Association!What is the SGA?

The Student Government Association (SGA) is an organization run completely by students with the
purpose of overseeing all school-sponsored events and organizations. SGA represents the entire
Robert Wood Johnson Medical School student body, acting as the voices from the students to the
administration. A representative from SGA attends meetings of the Alumni Association, Executive
Council, Friends and Family, and Student Leader meetings to effectively serve as a link between
students and the administration. SGA also serves to obtain the opinion of the student body regarding
issues that come up throughout the year and organizes town hall meetings to discuss these issues.

Student Government is also in charge of overseeing the social well-being of the student body. The annual formal, ski trip, talent show, and numerous outings in the New Brunswick area are just a few of the many events that SGA has organized over the past years. In addition, SGA provides financial support to unfunded organizations and electives that enrich the student body through interesting lunchtime lectures and dinner events on a wide variety of medically related topics. As an organization for students run by students, all RWJMS students are encouraged to take an active role in SGA.
