Involving Students

UMass Amherst student leaders work closely with administrators to inform decisions that shape the student experience.

Collaborating with Student Leadership

UMass Amherst student leaders work closely with administrators on a variety of advisory boards to provide consultation and input to inform decisions that shape the UMass student experience. The three campus governance bodies providing advocacy and platform for larger student issues are:

  • Student Government Association (SGA), elected and appointed undergraduate students who represent the undergraduate student voice and the student body.
  • Graduate Student Government (GSG), elected and appointed graduate students who represent the graduate student voice and the student body.
  • Residence Hall Association (RHA), represents all students living within the residence halls. RHA also represents the voice of residential students to Student Government and Residential Life.
