Since 1969, student government at OU has allowed students to organize and make a difference in their education experience. The SGA President & Vice President lead their administration to be the official voice within and outside the OU community. The Cabinet is composed of 4 directors - Interior, Communications, Inclusivity, Exterior. At the weekly meetings, this team discusses ways to implement initiatives across campus that enhance the student experience.
The Crimson Leadership Association (CLA) was established in 2011. It has always provided first year students with a meaningful opportunity for involvment within the Student Government Assocation. Members of CLA have the chance to attend weekly meetings focused on topics such as how to get involved on campus, start a student organization, apply for campus awards, etc., as well as an opportunity to work with a mentor in student government. The SGA Vice President serves as the direct student advisor to the CLA Co-Chairs and members.
The Legislative Branch of the Student Government Association consists of the Undergraduate Student Congress and Graduate Student Senate (GSS). Congress is comprised of 48 representatives that participate in various committees that oversee certain aspects of the Congress.
GSS represents every graduate student enrolled in any of the programs offered by the Graduate College at the University of Oklahoma, giving them an official voice in student government. Additionally, each year a substantial portion of the SGA budget is allocated to GSS for two important initiatives: Outstanding Graduate Student Awards and the Research & Conference Grants.
