A faculty-student committee provides direction and advice. Students interested in staff positions may contact the editors. Student Government Association The Student Government Association (SGA) is the representa– tive assembly of the student body. SGA includes officers elected annually by the student body, two representatives from each class, residence hall representatives, and a faculty advisor. The purpose of SGA is to assist in providing a well-rounded program of extra– curricular activities which will develop the physical, mental, social, cultural, and spiritual life of the students; to promote loy– alty to the school and to the fundamental, Biblically-inspired stand and principles for which Cedarville College was created; to help establish and maintain an efficient and harmonious school atmosphere; and to recommend to the proper authorities or to take action deemed necessary for the welfare of the student as an individual or for the student body as a whole. Election to SGA provides an opportunity to exercise democratic leadership in stu– dent affairs. SGA is responsible for such fund-raising projects as the Student Body Project and the Student Missionary Project. SGA also coor– dinates chapel services each Friday.
