Projects & Initiatives

SGA's goal is to make a positive impact on the student body by championing the student experience, and so our focus is on tangible projects and inititiatives that can best support and represent students' needs.

Have a question, idea, or concern?

Current & Ongoing

  • Do you ever want to know what events are happening on campus but don't have a clear way of finding out about them? The 2023-2034 SGA team is Starting Warriors Weekly, a weekly newsletter that will be your go-to place to hear about all Jessup events.

  • SGA has worked with the Athletics Department to reserve a student section at all home games. Make sure to keep your eye out for Jessup's Loud Crowd shirts as well as partnerships with Athletic teams for themed games and a chance to win prizes while cheering on our Warriors!

Past & Completed

  • Ever wanted to only take a class if you could have a specific professor? Beginning Fall 2023 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 2024.

  • 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.

  • We hosted local High School Student Government/ ASB teams on campus for a leadership and roundtable workshop. They'll get to network with other students in similar roles and hear from a selection of our public policy faculty, leadership faculty, and experienced staff.

  • As Jessup grows and develops, there is a need for SGA to make adjustments that continue to adequately champion the student voice and experience. The constitution amendments put forth and voted into approval include an added Executive Committee Officer role, a future structure change of SGA that allows for inclusion of student liaisons from all corners of campus, as well as some updated wording, sentence structure, and grammar fixes.

  • In addition to a need for a central space, communication, and unity Jessup has been in need of something vibrant- some visual "fun-ness" around this Jessup concrete jungle. Therefore, the Warrior Rock has been installed in a central location on campus that can be decorated in fun and meaningful ways and incorporated into current and future Jessup traditions.

    Would you like to paint the rock to promote your event or just show off your artistic skill?  Click "Warrior Rock" in the SGA homepage and use the form to reserve a spot!

  • 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.

  • 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. 

  • 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.

  • 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 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.
