The New SGA at AUK Formulates its Action Plan

Kuwait--Nov.21, 2012: After a few initial meetings, the new Student Government Association (SGA) at AUK is ready and fuelled with the motivation and enthusiasm needed to adequately represent the AUK student body. The members have begun formulating an action plan for the year with three main goals in mind; to find solutions to student issues and advocate student needs, to promote active student involvement in activities and events to foster a sense of community on campus, and to ensure that SGA and the AUK administration cooperate on every level in an effort to implement positive changes to AUK.

The new SGA has been elected last October to represent the AUK student body for the academic year 2012-2013. Voter turn-out this year was the highest in AUK history, reaching 35.5% of the students participating in this year's election.

At AUK, the SGA is the voice of the students. Composed of elected representatives from the student population, SGA is responsible for representing the opinions, concerns and recommended resolutions of the student body to other constituencies of the AUK community. In addition, to serving as the student voice, SGA works with other student organizations to sponsor events that promote the academic and social lives of students at AUK. Students can get involved with SGA by running for an elected position in SGA, participation in a General Assembly, SGA committees or as an SGA volunteer. Participation and representation in student government is open to all registered students of the University.
