SGA Student Organization Spotlight

SGA is working to recognize the efforts of student organizations by promoting the SGA Student Organization Spotlight.  Every week, a different student organization will have their pictures and information featured in a display case in the Plaster Student Union, and the organization will be included on the Missouri State Facebook page and My Missouri State web page for the week.  To be eligible, the student organization must have at least 1 SGA representative.  A link to the application can be found below.  Please submit all applications to the SGA office in PSU 123 throughout the year.

About Student Organizations

With over 250 student organizations registered  with the Office of Student Engagement (formerly the Office of Student Activities), Missouri State University offers students a wide variety of ways to get involved on campus.  Participating in student organizations will bring you together with other students who have similar ideas and goals.  Not only will you learn from each other, but you can also develop friendships and contacts .  Student organizations are grouped into eight categories according to their main purpose.  These include academic/professional, Greek social, honorary, religious, service, social, sports, and university.  Make the most of your college experience and get involved!

If you have any questions about the status of your student organization, want to start a new organization, or want more information about student organizations, contact the Office of Student Engagement at (417) 836-4386 or email us at StudentEngagement@MissouriState.edu.  The Office of Student Engagement is located in the Plaster Student Union, room 101, across from Kaldi's Coffee.
