Quinnipiac's Student Government Association (SGA) mirrors the structure of the US Government, consisting of an Executive Board, General Board and Judicial Board. The Executive Board comprises five key positions, each receiving an on-campus office and a scholarship. The General Board, functioning as the organization's Senate, collaborates on initiatives and advocacy efforts to enhance the undergraduate student experience, while the Judicial and Ethics Board ensures compliance with governing documents and addresses inappropriate actions as needed. All of this is designed to improve the student experience led by students in collaboration with the university.
