Student Involvement

Student Government Association

The Voice of Merrimack

The Student Government Association of Merrimack College (SGA) works to protect the rights of all Merrimack students.

We are the voice of Merrimack students and always strive to improve our quality of life. We assist in student efforts and causes and act as a liaison to Merrimack faculty and administration. We open lines of communication and help shape school policy.

When We Meet

The SGA meets Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m. in the Hub. We welcome anyone in the Merrimack community to attend.
