Why should I join SGA?

Being able to serve on SGA lets you see how EMU and other institutions like it operate, the challenges they face, and the goals they strive for. You also get a chance to meet other student leaders on campus like yourself that are excited to help make this place better for all. As if we could make this an even sweeter deal, serving as a senator also gives you an opportunity to shed light to topics and ideas that you believe need to be discussed, challenged, changed, embraced, or celebrated at EMU!
How do I request money from SGA for my EMU related idea or event?

You can submit a funding request through our website. If the project involves multiple clubs on campus, you are able to submit a USO funding request instead as these funds are set aside specifically for projects involving multiple clubs working together.
