The Student Government Association (SGA) is the official student “voice” of Cheyney University on policies that govern the general welfare of students. Every student is required to pay an activities fee that includes full membership in the SGA. These fees enable the SGA to launch and coordinate programs, activities, and services that assist the University in making an impact on students’ cultural, social, and political awareness. Recreation and leisure time activities are also provided to give students opportunities to participate in leadership training and personal development seminars.
Student clubs, organizations, and co-curricular activities are eligible to be funded through the SGA. These clubs and organizations have evolved to satisfy the widely diverse interests and needs of Cheyney students. Co-curricular activities are an important part of each student’s education and should be chosen with care. Some broaden one’s outlook and interests, while others serve to build self-confidence, both socially and professionally. All activities, however, are designed to promote respect for the uniqueness and rights of the individual, as well as respect for opportunities to exercise those rights within a democratic, social setting.
