Student Government Association
Trevecca has had a history of dedicated and talented student leaders, and the 2010-2011 officers are not exceptions to this legacy of excellence. The Trevecca Student Government Assembly (SGA) consists of the Associated Student Body (ASB) officers and the various officers of the four classes (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors).
This group meets every Monday night during the school year in order to discuss issues of importance to the student body, including campus-wide social events, service projects, and spiritual initiatives. SGA works closely with the Office of Student Development, with the help of Matt Spraker, Associate Dean of Students for Community Life.
The Student Government Association of Trevecca Nazarene University is a body of elected students actively representing the diversity of student interests within the Trevecca Community: providing leadership through service.
