The Spelman Student Government Association (SSGA) is a body composed of elected and appointed student representatives which meets regularly to discuss matters of general concern regarding students. The assembly acts as a liaison between the student body and the faculty, staff and administration by presenting proposals, programs, activities, and resolutions that reflect the tenor of student of opinion.  The SSGA also seek to foster sisterhood among Spelman women as well as to help students gain an understanding of themselves, society, and the African-American heritage.

In addition to discussing educational and social issues confronting Spelman College students, the SSGA is responsible for allocating funds to all student clubs and organizations to assist them with their programming and leadership needs.

Spelman women are encouraged to get involved in various committees, programs, and activities sponsored by the SSGA.  The advisor of the Spelman Student Government Association is the Director of Student Activities.

   

Our Goal.

The goal of the 2002-2003 SSGA is to serve as agents of social, political, and academic change for Spelman students and the Atlanta community. SSGA has been active on Spelman's campus for many decades.  The SSGA ask that all of our sisters support and communicate with the governing body.  The association acts upon the problems that are addressed in our community. The SSGA asks that you do not stop reading about SSGA at this homepage, but look through this website to discover endeavors of Spelman's campus and events that are happening in our community. Each organization is encouraged to create a webpage in order to communicate with the students on campus about their organization.

                      

Our history.

Before the SSGA school year 2002-2003, the Spelman Student Government Association was composed of programming and governing committees along with Ms. Spelman and her Court. The SSGA officers of the 2002-2003 year were inducted on April 22, 2002 in the Manley Atrium.  This induction was the beginning of a new era for the SSGA.  The organization is solely a governing body.  The programming board and Ms. Spelman and her Court are separate from SSGA.

Greetings from the President

It is with honor and humility that I welcome you to the Spelman College Student Government Association website. By being a Cohesive, Hardworking, Approachable, Novel, Genuine, and Ethusiastic Board of change agents on Spelman's campus and in our community, the SSGA Executive Board hopes to serve as the voice and the spirit of Spelman women.  Everyone has a part to play in this great journey.  As you explore this website, reflect on what part you can play; decide what part you will play; and play that part.  Have no doubts or equivocations, for, you are the CHANGE you want to see on our campus and in our world.

Most Sincerely,
E.Joyce Iyamu
2002-2003  SGA President
