OSGA

The Oklahoma Student Government Association exists to be the voice of Oklahoma students. We work together for the advancement of Higher Education for the benefit for all Oklahoma students.

We meet throughout the year and would love to hear from any student who has ideas or would like to work with us to help advance higher education in Oklahoma.

History
Since the late 1960s, student body presidents of degree-granting institutions within Oklahoma have met to discuss issues related to higher education and common to all students. In the early 1970s, these leaders formed the Council of Student Government Presidents as a vehicle to voice student concerns on higher education issues. Then, in 1981 the Council expanded to involve additional student government leaders from every institution in the state. This expansion began the Oklahoma Student Government Association.

Today
The Oklahoma Student Government Association, commonly referred to as OSGA, is Oklahoma’s state student association (SSA). Designed by students, staffed by students, and funded by students, OSGA is a non-partisan, student advocacy association.

Purpose
Working on behalf of the OSGA Congress, the OSGA Board of Directors oversees the day-to-day activities of OSGA.

Officers
The OSGA Board of Directors contains a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Public Relations Director, and five Regional Directors (northwest, northeast, southeast, southwest, and central). Students are elected to these positions each spring during a Congressional Conference and serve one-year terms (May to May).
