The Student Government Board (SGB) Assembly hopes to add more voices to represent the student body at Pitt! If your organization is interested, please read and fill out the form below.
The SGB Assembly is the legislative body of SGB, which brings together representatives of different organizations around campus to include more voices in the work of SGB.
Meetings look like this:
- Deliver reports about their respective organizations
- Vote on any Resolutions or Bills in order for the Executive Board to pass them
- Collaborate with SGB and the other organizations in the Assembly to advocate for students
- During the spring semester, determine student leader remunerations for the following academic year
The organizations we are looking for are SORC-registered student organizations that represent different facets of the student body. Organizations affiliated with the College of General Studies and/or whose mission is primarily political (i.e. Pitt College Democrats, College Republicans at Pitt, etc.) will not be considered for the Assembly due to the nature of the work that this body will perform.
