Student Government Association

Student Government Association

College is more than books, lectures, and labs. Some of your best times for learning and involvement will be spent in student activities. You may choose to get involved by joining clubs and organizations: Art Club, Game Club, Native American Student Association, Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) (Honor Society), Student Government Association (SGA), Students Organizations and Leaders (SOLAR/ Programming Board), Student Nurses Organization (SNO), and SkillsUSA. For more information about clubs and organizations, contact 775.327.2395 or email james.kendall@gbcnv.edu.

When you register for one credit or more, you are automatically a member of the Student Government Association (SGA). A small part of your registration fee goes to support student activities such as special events, clubs, games, barbecues, films, lectures, virtual events and more. These activities are overseen by elected students who form the GBC SGA.

SGA is the representative body that voices the concerns of the entire student body and oversees the many social and educational extracurricular programs. Executive officers and up to 16 senators form the legislative body of the SGA. They represent the concerns of students from all service areas, including online students, and participate in weekly meetings with members from Elko, Ely, online, Pahrump, and Winnemucca.

The President, Vice President, and Secretary are elected by all students the spring semester and serve through the summer until the following spring. Some senators are elected in the spring semester, and the remaining senators are elected in the fall semester. SGA members are elected by a vote of the student body and are expected to serve for one term. SGA offices, along with the student life office, are located in the Leonard Center for Student Life. Contact the SGA at 775.327.2395, james.kendall@gbcnv. edu, or learn more at https://gbcnv.edu/student_life/sga.
