Improve Your Student Government Join the nation s premier organization for Student Governments www.asgaonline.com
Ever since Marist joined ASGA, we ve grown as student leaders and as an SGA overall. The ability to network with Student Governments from across the country has given us the opportunity to share ideas and bring positive influences to our campus. The conferences have been the greatest experiences of my college time because I was given the opportunity to speak with student leaders from across the country that share the same interests that I do and truly care about making a difference. Being a part of ASGA is something I ll never forget. Matthew Lubrano Student Body President Marist College, NY Join ASGA at www.asgaonline.com

Testimonials ASGA s conferences have taught me about how to advise, instead of lead, the SG members I work with. It has also helped the students in leadership here understand the importance of taking themselves and their roles seriously. Chad Edwards Director of Student Activities University of Saint Francis ASGA did a great job helping us to set goals for our SGA. As a result, we have implemented online elections and now have a current SG website, in addition to a new Student Lounge complete with pool tables, an Internet jukebox, and arcade games, plus a revamped signature program SGA Discount Cards. Ashley H. West Student Government President Bakersfield College, CA I must say, that the ASGA conference has drastically changed my thought process from striving to have an affect on just the student body to changing the entire institution for the better. We are in dire need for the resources you all have to offer in making our SGA great! We really appreciate you.
