What is the Student Association?
The Student Association (SA) acts as a governing body and a voice to the students here at SUNY Oswego. Its dedicated staff and elected officers serve as liaisons to the administration and faculty to address student concerns and empower students through their academic careers. Our purpose is to promote the needs and wants of the students while also overseeing the funding of many clubs and organizations on campus. SA has a budget of approximately $1.8 million (and is a 501c3 non-profit organization), which is allocated to our many active and passionate student-run organizations, while also funding several services on campus. SA comprises several bodies: Executive (composed of the President's Cabinet), Legislative (The Senate), and Judicial that all serve to uphold the constitution of the Student Association.
