USG Student Association (USGSA)
The Universities at Shady Grove Student Association (USGSA) was established in 2002 to serve as an advocate for the USG student body. It is comprised of select student representatives who serve on behalf of each of the undergraduate programs offered at USG.
The mission of USGSA is to act as the liaison between the student bodies of USG's member institutions and the administration of USG. Representatives serve as a voice and resource for students, thereby improving operations, the center environment and students' experiences at USG. Members meet on a regular basis and participate in a variety of activities that serve to better USG including student forums, community service projects, student life activities and more.
