About SGA
About the Student Government Association
The LCAD Student Government is a self-governing organization dedicated to enriching the personal, social, educational, and professional experiences of our students.
Through the coordination of campus activities and community-building opportunities, the Student Government fosters a vibrant and inclusive campus environment.
Our student leaders meet weekly to plan events, discuss important issues, and communicate student concerns to faculty and staff. These meetings are a crucial part of our efforts to ensure that student voices are heard, addressed and are an integral part of LCAD’s shared governance process. Students who wish to present topics or concerns at faculty meetings can do so by submitting a written request to the Chair of the Faculty Senate through the Director of Student Life, Vivian Ortiz at [email protected].
The Office of Student Life serves as the bridge between the Student Body and the College, ensuring that student needs and perspectives are effectively communicated and considered. Through active participation in the Student Government, students develop valuable leadership skills and contribute to the overall enhancement of the LCAD community.
