Kent Campus SGA

Purpose

The Student Government Association (SGA) serves as the official voice of the student body and promotes unity between the students, faculty and administration of the College.

The Kent Campus Student Government Association strives to reach out all of our students through various on-campus activities and open houses. In addition to campus activities, we are also very involved in community service and have strong bonds with the City Rescue Mission and the I.M. Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless. Additionally, through our state organization, the Florida Junior/Community College Student Government Association, (known as FJCCSGA), we follow legislative issues that affect community college students and represent our students’ best interests on the state level.

We encourage interested students to attend one of our regular meetings, held every Tuesday at 2 p.m. in Room G-125/126.
