About SGA
SGA enriches the MVNU experience through intentional, Christ-centered relationships. Our purpose is to serve our campus as a voice to and for all students, while encouraging an environment that creates communal growth.
Practically speaking, this means that we work as a way to bridge the gap between the student body and concerns on campus that need addressed. We meet together as a team once a week to discuss the progress being made and think through the best ways to move forward. About once a month we plan an event as an opportunity for the student body to come together such as Welcome Week, Homecoming events, Holiday parties, Junior Senior, and Block Party.
