SORTING BY PROFESSOR WHEN REGISTERING FOR CLASSES
Ever wanted to only take a class if you could have a specific professor? Beginning Fall 2022 we’re making it easier for you to do just that! You’ll be able to sort classes in the student portal by professor when you register for Spring 2023.
ADOPT-A-COMMUTER
We want to help commuters feel at home and connected on Campus, so we are working with ResLife and Housing to create a program where commuters can be “adopted” into a residence wing.
CAMPUS GREEN
We are looking for input on ideas for the future development of the old soccer field in the middle of Campus into a green space for students to study, relax, and play.
Past Projects
CONSTITUTION UPDATE- FALL 2021, SPRING 2022
The SGA Constitution, our governing document, needed a refresh. We moved our constitution files from MS Word to Google Docs to make it easier to share and manage. We made updates to the formatting to make it look more professional and easier to read/navigate. And, after multiple SGA members and advisors proofreading, we fixed some spelling errors, consolidated repetitive text, and fixed some phrasing inefficiencies that were creating confusion and mis-interpretation.
RESIDENTIAL OPEN HOURS EXTENDED – SPRING 2022
In partnership with some RA’s and Residential students, SGA helped advocate for extended open hours in the Village and Sunset Hall to better accommodate needs for collaborative studying and opportunities to create community with peers.
CAMPUS GREENERY – FALL 2021 AND PRIOR
While Jessup has a beautiful campus and is well-kept, students have pointed out that we can do more with the space around us, and make it more appealing. A few proposals and groundwork have been approved and implemented for a number of projects including seating, lighting, greenery around campus (indoors and out), and access to the Green.

SMOOTHIES ARE BACK – SPRING 2021
Smoothies are back in the Shack a semester after a petition from concerned students was delivered to SGA. In collaboration with Bon Appetit, SGA was able to get smoothie options returned to the Shack, which are now available during select times Monday-Friday.
