Student Government Association elections start today!

Kim Olguin, Contributor|April 6, 2020

The Student Government Association (SGA) has always been an important part of Tarleton State University. It is an organization full of leaders who are the student body’s voice; it is made up of three separate branches that include the executive board, judicial court, and the legislative body which could also be known as congress. Around this time each year, students are able to log into Texan Sync and nominate themselves for any position that they would like. The positions in which students can nominate themselves are; student body president, student body vice president, Mr. and Mrs. TSU, congress (which is based on your college or organization), and the last lecture series. After being nominated for a position students are able to begin campaigning until the last day of elections.
