Roberto Contreras-Murillo Inducted Into the Georgia State University Student Government Association for the 2017-18 Academic Year

2017 Jun 13

Roberto Contreras-Murillo of Newnan will serve in the Georgia State University Student Government Association (SGA) as a Senator representing undergraduate students in the College of Education and Human Development during the upcoming 2017-18 academic year.

Students serving in the SGA for the 2017-18 academic year were inducted this spring during ceremonies at Georgia State University's Student Center East at the downtown Atlanta campus.

The SGA is the official voice of the student body at Georgia State University. The primary purpose of the SGA is to represent the students' interests to university leadership and to lobby on students' behalf. The SGA provides a conduit for students to influence how the university operates by dealing directly with Georgia State staff and faculty. Additionally, the SGA selects 10 individuals who represent the students in the University Senate as voting members.

SGA members serve on different university committees which impact aspects of student life, such as the Student Life and Development Committee and the Student Activity Fee Committee, along with other committees dealing with university governance and decision-making.
