The Student Government Association (SGA) is the official voice of the student body and is a vital link to ensure a positive learning environment for our student body. Each year, SGA plans a wide variety of programs and activities designed to enhance campus life. Participation in SGA also provides many opportunities for leadership. Elections for the SGA Executive Board are held during the spring semester.
The Campus Activities Board (CAB) provides social, cultural and educational events for the campus community. Students serving on CAB get to work closely with nationally touring comedians, musicians, lecturers, magicians and artists. Planning and promoting events are great skills to add to your resume!
Being a member of a club or student organization is a great way to meet new people, have fun, and add experiences to your resume. Membership in all approved Ivy Tech student organizations is open to all eligible students regardless or sex, race, color, creed, national origin, physical or mental disability, age, or veteran status.
Student organizations are a great way to get involved at Ivy Tech! Being involved in a club is a great way to make new friends, build your resume and gain leadership skills.
