The Student Government Association (SGA) of Kentucky State University, serves as the student governing body, providing the students a voice in the affairs of the campus community. The executive officers and class officers manage many student-only projects, and one member serves as a voting member of the University's Board of Regents. The SGA plays a part in developing programs that enhance the social and cultural life of Kentucky State University students. Whether planning entertainment, presenting the student point of view to the University administration, or encouraging academic excellence among the student body, participants in student government help shape their community.
At Kentucky State University, “a chance to participate, and the opportunity to get involved” is much more than a phrase; it is a fact of campus life. The range of student organizations includes Greek-Letter fraternities and sororities, honor societies, academic clubs, literary groups, art/music clubs, and special interest organizations (LGBTQ, Nursing, International students, Chess, etc.).
Students with interests that are not represented may submit a petition to inaugurate a new student organization.
