The purpose of this study is to identify the current issues that the Student Government Association at Grambling State University is being faced with, along with creating solutions to those problems. The Student Government Association (SGA) exists to serve as the official voice through which student opinions may be expressed and empowered in the overall policy, decision making process, and services offered at Grambling State University. As such, the Student Government Association is committed to understanding the needs of students and advocating on their behalf. Through continuous interaction with students, faculty, staff, and administration, the organization works to improve and enhance the quality of the student experience.
The mission of the SGA is accomplished through constant interaction with the student body. The
SGA is committed to empowering students to voice their opinions on different issues and work with senators so that legislation may be drafted. Through partnerships with departments and university committees throughout campus, students are able to serve as representatives and further voice their opinions. SGA believes the university is for the students, and those students should be able to make a lasting, positive impact for the campus community.
In all, the researchers of this project have composed a list of the internal and external strengths and weaknesses faced by the SGA at Grambling State University, as well as relevant opportunities and threats that exist outside of the SGA that could impact it in a positive or negative way. Also, a new system has been created to help alleviate the current issues faced by the SGA on the GSU campus.

Organization Company& Background
Grambling State University’s student government was established around the early 1900s. Many student governments are structured similarly to the United States Government, consisting of distinct executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
Within their capacity as representatives of the student body, student governments may fulfill a range of responsibilities:
Representing the interests and concerns of the student body and serving on college-wide committees made up of students, faculty, administrators, and staff members.
Disbursing mandatory fees for student activities to clubs, organizations, and campus offices.
