Committees and Goals

SAIS Student Government Association | Committees and Goals

The SAIS Student Government Association (SGA) serves as the primary interface between students and the SAIS administration. We are your advocates with the Administration, Alumni, and other Student Groups and we strive to enhance the quality of student life at SAIS.  Our goal is to make SAIS the best international relations program in the world. We aim to work with the student body, faculty, administration and alumni to seek continuous improvement of key SAIS performance indicators, including career placement, student satisfaction, and alumni participation and to continue the trend of a fun, lively school environment, by engaging students in social activities and functions.

Working Goals for the academic year 2011-12:

• Provide a channel through which students can influence school policy and problem solving through SGA Committees on Academic Affairs, Career Services, Admissions, International Student Services, Internal Affairs and Social Activities
• Advance a culture of professional development at SAIS by supporting the SAIS Career Clubs and Career Services
• Promote continuous change and innovation through advocacy and a close, working partnership with the school administration
• Foster a culture of open communication and accountability for student needs
• Increase student participation in the Class Gift, service and community involvement

In order to fulfil our Working Goals, we operate through six committees:

• Academic Affairs Committee
• Career Services Committee
• Admissions Committee
• International Student Services Committee
• Internal Affairs Committee
  
• Social Committee
