HCC’s Student Government Association (SGA) consists of an Executive Board (President, Executive VP and Secretary), a cabinet of three Vice Presidents’ (Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and Club Administration and Finance), and a General Assembly.

The SGA acts as a conduit between students and the administration, voicing concerns, resolving problems and seeking input.

All HCC students (in good academic standing) can serve as senators. Elections for the Fall are held on the first Wednesday in May. While most Executive Board positions are filled then, students can continue to join the SGA through mid-semester (both Fall and Spring) by completing a Nomination Form and acquiring 30 signatures.

Meetings are held every Wednesday at 2:30 p.m..

The SGA Offices are located in Fronahue; the phone is (413) 552-2522, (413) 552-2293, or (413) 552-2418.

The SGA welcomes everyone who wants to make a difference, work for students, and help sustain an inclusive, safe, and active campus for all.

HCC’s Board of Trustees has one student member. Elected in May, this student serves a one-year term beginning in July. The Student Trustee represents all HCC students in “big picture” decision-making. The Trustee works closely with the SGA and other student leaders to elicit information and improve communication.

Board meetings are held every fourth Tuesday at 8am.
