Student Governance and Communication

Student Government Association

The Student Government Association (SGA) represents the Mount Mercy student body and serves as the umbrella organization for other campus recognized student organizations. It is the official voice of the student in Mount Mercy governance. Membership is open to all Mount Mercy undergraduate students, and SGA members serve on institution-wide committees and provide students’ viewpoints to faculty and staff. Officers are eager to hear from all students and to assist them in every way possible. The SGA office is located in the University Center and can be reached at sga@mtmercy.edu.

Recognized student clubs and organizations are overseen by SGA. For Mount Mercy policies pertaining to them, go to the SGA page on the Mount Mercy University website.
