Academic Issues
Education is the primary foundation of any university. The S.G.A.
is committed to working with students, faculty, and administration to improve
and diversify the educational opportunities available at
Adelphi. Throughout the year, S.G.A. will be working to enhance its
educational mission as well by sponsoring its Black History Month and
Women’s Recognition Month. If
you have any concern about your educational issues, please contact the
representative of your school or college, who will assist you with your
issue.
Athletics and Greek Life
S.G.A. and Adelphi Athletics have had a stronger relationship then ever
in 2007-2008! S.A.A.C. and S.G.A. have worked together on several projects to
benefit the student body and will continue to forge a close relationship in
the upcoming semester. Our university is blessed with an extraordinarily
successful and talented athletics program. Additionally, our Greek
community is one of the most involved and most cohesive student
constituencies at Adelphi. In an effort to expand the popularity of
athletic and Greek events and enhance school spirit, the S.G.A. is reaching
out to Athletics and Greek Life more extensively than ever before.

Commuter Issues
Commuter students comprise over 60 percent of the Adelphi
population. Therefore, the S.G.A. recognizes the importance of
addressing the issues that commuters face on a daily basis. The S.G.A. has
been working closely with the Division of Student Affairs to enrich commuter
life at Adelphi throughout the year. If you have a concern or idea for
improving the commuter student experience, please contact one of our commuter
senators. Click on the links below to explore some of the specific
initiatives that S.G.A. is pursuing.
Space Issues
Space is a growing problem at Adelphi. It is an issue that students,
faculty and administration are all constantly facing. S.G.A. understands that
classrooms, lounges, and even field space is stretched more then ever. We are
working with the University Administration to renovate current lounges, add
new spaces, and form policies that are fair and productive to student’s
needs and usage. Click on the links below to explore some of the specific
initiatives that S.G.A. is pursuing.
Improving S.G.A.
In order to serve the students of Adelphi University,
the S.G.A. must operate as effectively, consistently, and broadly.
Thus, the 2007-08 S.G.A. is dedicated to ensuring that our policies,
procedures, and capabilities are as streamlined, efficient, and accessible as
possible. In addition, we have launched an intensive year long publicity
program that will help S.G.A. interact and form a relationship with the
campus community. S.G.A. understands that we can only serve its constituents
if we are actively listening. Click on the links below to explore some
of the specific initiatives that S.G.A. is pursuing.
Promoting Diversity
Jimmy Carter once said of the United States, we are a land of
“Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different
hopes, different dreams.” Adelphi is no
different, and the S.G.A. believes that our diverse backgrounds, cultures,
and ideas should be respected. At the very least, no student should be
discriminated for his/her differences. S.G.A. entrusts this task to
UMOJA, who works diligently to ensure that Adelphi University
and S.G.A. is meeting the cultural needs of its students. S.G.A. and UMOJA is
working with the Administration and student cultural organizations to ensure
that Adelphi is not only safe for people of all kinds, but also that our
university is an advocate for equality, multi-culturalism,
and human rights around the world.

Residential Life
Every Adelphi resident deserves to live in the most comfortable
environment possible—an Adelphi residence hall should be as much like
home as possible. Your student representatives are working with Office
of Residential Life and Housing and the Resident Student Association (R.S.A.)
to ensure that your stay at Adelphi is enjoyable and conducive to maximizing
your educational growth.
If you have any specific concerns or complaints about your living conditions
at Adelphi, please contact one of our residence senators.
Club Relations
Adelphi’s clubs and organizations are part of the foundation of
student life and the S.G.A.’s mission.
Every year, we allocate approximately $800,000 to allow clubs and
organizations the opportunities to enliven and improve campus life for all
students. We pledge to make our relationship with clubs and organizations
more collegial and mutually beneficial.
Please visit our link for clubs and organizations, or contact the vice
president or treasurer for information regarding our policies and/or
allocations process.
Administration Relations
If S.G.A. is to effectively serve the Adelphi students, it is essential
that we work closely with the administration that governs and manages your
campus and education. S.G.A. holds an intimate and systematic
relationship with those at the highest levels of Adelphi University,
from the Board of Trustees to the president, and the provost to the
deans. Your S.G.A. representatives are meeting and working with the
Administration to make your university on a monthly basis.
If you are interested in finding out more about the S.G.A.’s
relations with the Administration, please contact S.G.A. President Michael Berthel.
