East Carolina University Student Government Association
East Carolina University Student Government Association is the student union of East Carolina University. The ECUSGA, stylized as ECU SGA or ECU_SGA is a student-run government founded in 1947 to provide a voice for students when dealing with administration of the East Carolina University (ECU). The motto of the ECU SGA is "Service, Governance, and Advocacy", representing the organization's commitment to the university's student body in a broad array of areas. The SGA was restructured in 2016, transitioning to a one-branch advocacy model of governance, administrated by a new constitution and bylaws. Its highest ranking official, the Student Body President, serves as an ex officio member of the Board of Trustees of East Carolina University.[1] ECU's SGA is associated with the SGA's of 16 other campuses in the University of North Carolina System as part of the University of North Carolina Association of Student Governments (UNCASG).[2]
Current Structure
As part of the 2016 restructure, the main legislative body of the ECU SGA is the Student Assembly, which is composed of sixty elected representatives. It represents both undergraduate and graduate students housed in all academic units of ECU. The Student Assembly is chaired by a Speaker, who sits on an Executive Council along with the Student Body President and other executive officers. The SGA Office will be located in the university's new Student Center beginning in 2019.
