Student Government Association<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Student Government Association is the official governing body of Transylvania students. SGA serves as a voice for student interests, provides opportunities for students to develop leadership skills and helps students gain experience for future careers. SGA serves as a liaison between the student body, the faculty and administration. The academic affairs committee, which promotes student interests among the faculty, sponsors an annual SGA research and scholarship symposium and plans lectures and panel discussions throughout the year. The student life committee advises the dean of students on all matters concerning student policies, as outlined in the student handbook. Other committees are involved in several areas of campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leadership Programs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our leadership programs are split into two tracks to meet the needs of students as they matriculate through college. Students can expect to get foundational knowledge about leadership styles while hearing from guest speakers that are experts in their areas. Students are able to connect with their peers about shared topic areas and learn from one another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
