SGA members are given a forum to exchange ideas, thoughts, and concerns. This is also the opportunity to explore issues unique to our college and region and to share in the construction of solutions to challenges and obstacles that can benefit us all. Every Wilkes Community College student that pays the student activity fee is eligible to join SGA.
