SGA Membership
Senators:
There are a total of 18 senators: 9 for upperclassmen and 9 for freshmen. Any student enrolled in at least one BSC course and maintaining a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is eligible to stand for election. Senators represent the student body at weekly SGA Senate meetings, hold weekly office hours, and participate in committees to address the concerns of students and achieve changes to campus.
Student Representative:
The biggest advantage of the Student Representative position is the smaller time commitment. While normal senators need to commit to approximately 3 – 6 hours per week, the Student Reps need only commit to 1 – 2 hours per week. They will be part of a committee and attend a senate meeting once per month (instead of weekly). While they will not have voting rights in the Senate, they will still be able to voice any concerns, thoughts, or suggestions and help their assigned committee with projects and tasks that help us improve the student experience on the BSC campus.
NDSA Head Delegate:
The NDSA Head Delegate organizes a delegation to participate in monthly North Dakota Student Association (NDSA) meetings which take place at various college campuses across the state. This office also works with the SGA Advisor to host an annual NDSA meeting at BSC.
Secretary/Treasurer:
The Secretary/Treasurer must be a senator who has been at BSC for at least one full semester prior to taking office. The Secretary/Treasurer's role is to report the financial balances of SGA to the Senate - and to record the minutes of all meetings.
Vice-President:
The Vice-President's primary role is to assist the President in carrying out their duties, especially in the President's absence.
President:
The President must be a full-time BSC student senator who has been at BSC for at least one full semester before taking office. The President serves as the official representative of SGA and its administrative head, presides over Senate and Executive Board meetings, is a voting delegate to the NDSA, and is responsible for answering requests for information about SGA. The President is in regular communication with the SGA Advisor and BSC faculty and staff, including the president and vice presidents of the college.
